The high school offers French and English curricula from kindergarten through high school. What is new is that from September, under the leadership of new director Fabrice Heumann, the Dutch language will also be an integral part of the school curriculum. The secondary school will also offer Dutch workshops and an introduction to Flemish culture for secondary school students.

Miguel van Ackeré, General Manager of Odyssey Belgium and the LFIA team, wishes to enhance the educational offer and educational experience for students in collaboration with Odyssey Belgium. “We want to plan a gradual renewal of the campus with a focus on developing educational and sports facilities. We will adapt the language program by providing education in French and English and including Dutch in the programme. Finally, we will develop services for students and their families, such as cultural and sports activities.”

Network

By joining the Odyssey Group, LFIA will also benefit from the benefits of a dynamic and international education network. This means collaborations with many schools around the world, collaborations between students and classes, sharing of best educational practices and joint scientific, sports or cultural projects. There will be close cooperation to ensure that educational projects and material and human investments meet the expectations of all families.
