Groupe Scolaire Victor Hugo

What Groupe Scolaire Victor Hugo does

The Lycée Français International Victor Hugo (Groupe Scolaire Victor Hugo) is a private French international school located in Djerba, Tunisia, operating under the legal name 'Lycée Français International Victor Hugo.' It is homologated by the French Ministry of Education and functions as an official partner of the AEFE (Agence Française pour l'Enseignement à l'Étranger) network, with AFLEC (Association Franco-Libanaise pour l'Éducation et la Culture) serving as the strategic parent organization. The school delivers the complete French national curriculum from Petite Section (nursery) through Terminale (high school senior year), spanning Maternelle, Élémentaire, Collège, and Lycée levels, with classes CPA through Terminale explicitly listed.

The school's revenue model is straightforward recurring tuition: families pay annual schooling fees (with the 2024-2025 fee schedule publicly published), and the school operates a direct-enrollment go-to-market with no intermediaries. Administrative contact is handled through a single secretariat ([email protected]) and phone line. The underlying technology stack is minimal and education-sector-standard: the PRONOTE platform from INDEX EDUCATION serves as the parent/student portal for grades, attendance, scheduling, and teacher communication; the school website is hosted by OVH and built by Websco Innovations. No proprietary technology, AI features, or custom digital products are documented. Marketing is community-driven, relying on the school website, parent association (APE Victor Hugo Djerba), and school events (Carnival, Forum des Métiers, festivals).

The institution is led by Catherine TISON as Cheffe d'Établissement. It is a small, single-campus operation with 22 employees, evidenced to be in an active build-out phase: it produced its first Baccalauréat graduating class in 2025 (100% pass rate, 70% with honors) and is recruiting teaching staff across multiple disciplines. The school targets families in Djerba and surrounding Tunisian areas seeking certified French-language education, international recognition of qualifications, and a multilingual Mediterranean learning environment. Geographic scope is restricted to Tunisia (Djerba), and the school does not pursue a global enrollment footprint.

• Lycée Français Gustave Flaubert: Homologated French international school located in La Marsa, near Tunis. It is the most directly comparable AEFE-aligned French school in Tunisia, competing for the same Francophone family segment with a broader track record.
