is set in a privileged environment at the crossroads of cultures and languages. Its aim is to prepare each student for a future rich in opportunities, both academic and personal.<br \/>Our school, spread over two sites &#8211; primary and secondary &#8211; welcomes pupils from nursery level, from the age of two, to the final year of secondary school. We offer a high-quality, rigorous education that is open to the world, with programmes approved by the French Ministry of Education. <br \/>Our school is part of the <strong>AEFE&rsquo;s network of French lyc\u00e9es<\/strong>, a network of excellence that spans the globe and ensures the continuity of educational pathways in 600 establishments in 138 countries. <strong>Thanks to this network, our students have privileged access to world-renowned establishments, particularly in France, but also in major international universities.<\/strong><\/p><p>The appeal of our school lies not only in the quality of its teaching, but also in its cultural and linguistic openness. Through our multilingual curriculum, our pupils benefit from immersion in three languages: French, Spanish and English from primary school onwards. Coming from over 30 different nationalities, our pupils have the chance to flourish in a multicultural environment. <br \/>From elementary school onwards, our pupils can choose between a Spanish section or English language reinforcement. In the final year of secondary school, our school offers the <strong>bachibac<\/strong>, a unique course that allows our students to take both the French bac and the Spanish bachillerato, a double curriculum that opens doors to higher education opportunities in both France and Spain.<\/p><p>We make it a point of honour to support each student throughout their course. Our language integration programme <strong>is designed to ensure that every student<\/strong>, whatever their language of origin or level of French, can progress at their own pace and with confidence. In addition, we are fully committed to the success of each student by providing special support to students with special needs.<br \/>Education at the Lyc\u00e9e Fran\u00e7ais International de La Havane goes beyond traditional teaching. It is based on strong civic and environmentally responsible values, which encourage our students to commit themselves to building a sustainable future. Our rich and varied range of extra-curricular activities and holiday camps for primary school pupils stimulates their curiosity and team spirit.<br \/>It is with great pride that we welcome your children to our school, a place where educational excellence and personal development go hand in hand to shape the citizens of tomorrow.<br \/>Yours sincerely<\/p><p>Cristina LABADIE<br \/>Headmistress of the Lyc\u00e9e Fran\u00e7ais International de La Havane \u2018Alejo Carpentier\u2019.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning, growing, succeeding Contacts Primary : Adress : Street 15 N\u00b0 18004 e\/ 180 and 182 Siboney, Playa Phone :&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lfih.org\/index.php\/a-word-from-the-headmistress\/\">&hellip;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lfih.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21372"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lfih.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lfih.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lfih.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lfih.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21372"}],"version-history":[{"count":46,"href":"https:\/\/lfih.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21372\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34005,"href":"https:\/\/lfih.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21372\/revisions\/34005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lfih.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
