Lycée Français de New York Reviews
Academically the learning is weak compared to other schools (included New York City public schools). The “after” Lycee opportunities are mainly limited to New York City schools and Montreal McGill, rarely top universities in the US. Some teachers are very good, dedicated and friendly.
The concept of diversity and inclusion is inexistent demonstrating again how behind The Lycee is compared to other New York City schools.
Covid was poorly managed the first year with no thoughts process. The working from home schedule was not adapted with limited materials. The following years, the communication was not transparent.
Main benefit is the Dual Language Program French/English. That said the English learning is weak.
The building and space is nice with a playground on the roof top, gym, music rooms
