The Lycée Français de Toronto nevertheless offers the full range of grades in the French educational system, from pre-school to the Baccalaureate, alongside teaching on Canadian history, geography and economy.

Since 2000, the year in which their first graduating class took the Baccalaureate examinations, the LfT students’ results have been excellent, averaging 75% passing the exam with distinction. After their years at the LFT, a large proportion of our graduates study in some of the most competitive universities in Canada (e.g:The University of Toronto, McGill University, HEC Montréal), the United States, and Europe, a clear indication that they have managed to achieve a genuinely bilingual level. They also attend universities in France but most of all our students continue on to "classes préparatoires" (the first stage of France’s parallel elite university system).

The Lycée Français de Toronto is governed by the French Ministry of Education and therefore evolves with developments and changes in the French educational system, in accordance with the accreditation requirements of the "Agence pour l'Enseignement Français à l'Etranger" (AEFE).
