Is OFALycée accredited (homologuée)?
OFALycée’s programs align with the French Ministry of Education standards and are taught by certified French teachers. However, as the French Ministry of Education does not currently award “homologation” to schools that are 100% online, OFALycee cannot have this title. Recognition is instead achieved through the diplomas that our students take. We are proud of the 100% success rate of our students since 2021 in the French Brevet des Colleges and the French Baccalaureat, both awarded by the French National Education.
OFALycée does, however, hold COGNIA accreditation, making our school part of 36,000 accredited schools in over 80 countries with a student body of almost 25 million and an educator team of over 5 million. This prestigious accreditation is a seal of both quality and academic rigor that is recognized the world over.

What is expected of me, as a parent? How can I support my child’s learning?
Parents play an important role by encouraging good study habits and communication. You don’t need to speak French — simply staying involved, ensuring regular attendance, and showing interest makes a big difference.
For younger students, we ask that a parent or adult be within reach for the first few classes to help out if needed. However, with the help and guidance of our expert teachers, even our littlest students get into the groove very quickly and parent involvement in classes is not necessary.
