The French International School in Stockholm
Important Messages
May 19, 2025Since the start of the 2022 academic year, Lycée Français Saint Louis in Stockholm has proudly offered its high school students the French International Baccalaureate (BFI) in a trilingual format: French–Swedish–English. This is a unique and demanding educational track focused on languages and cultures, leading to a diploma that is recognized in France, Sweden, and internationally. In Sweden, earning this diploma grants direct access to programs taught in Swedish at Swedish universities (as confirmed by the equivalency standards defined by Swedish universities). The details and advantages of this program are thoroughly outlined on the website of the French Ministry of National Education, through a brochure, a flyer, and a video.
Wishing to raise greater awareness of this opportunity among students and families at the school, The LFSL team took the initiative to produce a video showcasing how the program is implemented in Stockholm.
This video gives voice to current and former students, teachers, and academic staff. They highlight how this program strengthens students’ language skills—not only in terms of communication but also cultural understanding—how it helps them develop essential cross-disciplinary competencies for success in higher education and for building an international career, and how, through the uniquely designed Connaissance du Monde (Knowledge of the World) course, it encourages them to understand—and even engage with—society by addressing complex contemporary issues from multiple perspectives.
Watch the video and hear the testimonies of students and alumni below.
In detail, this video was filmed during a professional development workshop for teachers, led by two trainers from the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE), Alain Bouleau and Douglas Bastick. Over two intense and enriching days, the BFI was at the heart of all discussions—through workshops and experience-sharing sessions designed to deepen understanding of the pedagogical challenges of this demanding program, while also giving students a voice and treating them as true scholars!
The training sessions focused on discussions about the objectives and framework of this French program, as well as its context within Sweden. These exchanges involved the trainers, the school principal, and Mr. Sauvage, an English inspector at the AEFE’s Department of Teaching, Guidance, and Training (DEOF). Teachers involved in the program had the opportunity to share perspectives and synthesize the many cross-disciplinary strengths of the BFI. They then engaged in discussions with current students enrolled in the program and with alumni, further enriching the collective analysis.
These two days of intense reflection concluded with a collaborative writing session for the video script, and a meeting between younger students in first year of high-school—interested in joining the program—and their older peers. A genuine team effort that brings the BFI to life and shows what it looks like in the field!
At LFSL, the BFI ultimately reflects the school’s commitment to providing an excellent education that values students’ multilingual skills and equips each of them with the tools for success—both in higher education and in their future lives.
