MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL

Since its inception in 2001 and its official recognition by the French education system in 2006, the Lycée international Balzac has acquired brilliantly the organisational and educational values and qualities that allows it to support all its students to achieve success and excellence.
This beautiful performance can only happen thanks to a benevolent support and close to the needs of each child and student.
