Dear secondary school students,

It is our pleasure to introduce today a line-up of extracurricular arts, sports, technology and academic programs for this school year.

We know that the athlete and competitor in you will find in our Flames program the individual or team sport that fits you best. We trust that the artist and performer in you will find in our new arts programs a sense of belonging and many opportunities to express yourself, and we understand the sense of accomplishment that the maker and technician in you will find in our technology programs.

Along the way, you will make new friends, build leadership and professional skills, gain in self confidence, share unique moments and, most importantly, have plenty of fun.

Make your choice, and see you soon after school in the gym, on stage and in the classroom.

SPORTS

Dear Flames Fans!

After 10 months at our new campus on Wilson Avenue, we can now say that the Flames are off to a wonderful start! We began a new chapter in our young history with a lot of successes: our new gymnasium saw our middle school girls basketball team finish second and third in the CAMS league, and the middle school girls soccer team won the title on our beautiful new soccer field.

Our new school not only allowed our athletes to be very successful, but it also gave our fans and parents the opportunity to enjoy spirited games full of passion and excitement! Besides the team sports, we finally opened our own swimming and golf teams. These two teams really showed their strengths and talents during the official games, rising to a challenging competition against excellent athletes. In soccer, our boys and girls high school teams reached the finals of their respective IHSA conferences; while the girls middle school soccer team won the title in the CAMS league. Our middle school girls basketball teams finished second and third in the CAMS league and our high school boys volleyball team had an amazing season, making it to the IHSA Metro Prep Conference finals. Our passionate and experienced coaches are, as always, ready to face the many challenges of the game to ensure that all our young athletes from fifth to twelfth grade have a unique and unforgettable athletic season. On behalf of the FLAMES, we hope you can join us for an excellent 2016-2017 season at Lycée Français de Chicago!

Extracurricular activities

SPORTS

Dear students and parents,

This second part of the brochure introduces a large choice of new extracurricular activities that are being offered to secondary school students.

At the core of this program is a production of Les Misérables, coupled with an opportunity to attend musical theater workshops with the cast of Hamilton in New York City in February for a limited number of students. Musical theater is an all-encompassing art form that not only requires a cast, but also musicians, set designers, fashion designers, digital artists and more. All these classes are being offered as well. This gives our students an opportunity to get involved in this adventure in multiple ways.

We also recommend that you check out our new technology programs, as well as our revamped middle school homework help program that will offer, upon request, support for group projects in the form of mentorship and advice on methodology.

We are looking forward to seeing you after school hours in our many extracurricular programs.

Sincerely,

Jacques Fournier Director of extracurricular programs
