Our History

The Lycée International de Houston, LIH, was established in 2017 by passionate individuals from different cultural backgrounds and founders who recognized the need for a bilingual school in the Houston community. Their goal was to equip students with the necessary skills to thrive in an ever-growing multicultural global society. As the sole accredited 18-month through 12th-grade bilingual school in Houston, the Lycée International de Houston offers a unique dual-language immersion program in both French and English. By combining the analytical thinking methods of the French Ministry of Education, with the dynamic American Curriculum, the school remains dedicated to maintaining academic excellence.

At the Lycée International de Houston, we offer an extraordinary educational experience that celebrates diversity and fosters cultural understanding among our students. Equipped with cutting-edge technology in our classrooms, we create an environment where ideas flow freely and inspire lifelong learning skills. Our comprehensive college preparatory curriculum not only ensures academic excellence but also nurtures a global outlook that prepares our students for success in today’s interconnected world. With two incredible options to choose from – the French Baccalauréat (Le Bac), the French International Baccalauréat (BFI), Advanced Placement courses, or the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) during their 11th and 12th grades, which is renowned for its rigorous preparation for university studies – our students have endless opportunities to excel academically. And let’s not forget about our U.S. High School Diploma. All LIH students graduate with a dual diploma. Regardless of what path students choose, it truly sets our graduates apart.

The Lycée International de Houston has obtained accreditations by esteemed organizations such as the International Baccalaureate (IB) Organization, the French Ministry of Education, and Texas Alliance of Accredited Private Schools (TAAPS ). Additionally, our school is affiliated with the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE).

Our aesthetically impressive 10-acre campus is located in the heart of the Energy Corridor. Our unique location provides opportunities to equip students for success beyond the classroom. The chance to live, grow, and study in a diverse and multicultural environment is like no other.
