Admission process

A CLEAR, WELCOMING, AND SUPPORTIVE PATHWAY

Our admission process is designed to get to know your child as a learner and ensure that The Lycée Français de Toronto is the right environment for their growth.

Discover the school

We invite families to begin by exploring the Lycée’s experience:

  • attend an Open House,
  • schedule a private tour,
  • meet our leadership team or admissions counsellor,
  • or join a virtual information session if you are abroad.

Seeing the school in action is the best way to understand what makes our community so special.

Submit your application

Applications are completed online via our secure portal.
Documents may include:

  • recent report cards (if applicable),
  • proof of identity,
  • proof of residency (for Canadian-based families),
  • any learning evaluations (if relevant),
  • language background information.

Our team will guide you if additional documents are needed.

Interview & assessment

Every application is considered individually, with an assessment designed for each stage of learning:

  • Kindergarten (PreK, JK, SK):

A gentle, play-based observation (“temps de découverte”) in the child’s preferred language, along with a meeting with the family.
No prior knowledge of French is required at this level.

  • Primary School (Grades 1–5):

An admissions assessment focused on French language skills, appropriate to the child’s age.
Students are expected to understand and speak French from Grade 1 onward.

  • Middle & High School (Grades 6–12):

An admissions test in French, followed by a student interview.

We look beyond test results, we look for curious, open-minded students who are ready to grow, engage, and thrive in a bilingual environment.

Admission decision

Families receive the result by email.
Upon acceptance, you will receive:

  • the enrollment contract,
  • tuition and financial information,
  • orientation details,
