The Lycée Français de La Havane ‘Alejo Carpentier’ has an agreement with the AEFE (Agence pour l’Enseignement Français à l’Etranger). Founded in 1972 under the aegis of the French Embassy, the school started out with around a hundred students and now has just over 130 students from around thirty countries.
With the accreditation of the Seconde class in 2018, the school has become a lycée, with a head teacher at the helm for the first time.
All pupils learn Spanish as a foreign language from nursery school. On entering CP, they learn English as a second foreign language.
A language reinforcement programme has been set up for non-French and non-Spanish-speaking pupils. Multilingualism is one of the objectives of the school project.
Pupils benefit from a pleasant environment, optimal working conditions combining academic excellence and openness to the world, and direct access to Cuba’s characteristic cultural diversity.
