What Lycée franco-hellénique d'Athènes, AEFE does

The Lycée Franco-Hellénique Eugène Delacroix (LFHED) is a private K-12 institution located in Aghia Paraskevi, Athens, operating under the AEFE (Agence pour l'enseignement français à l'étranger) network and homologated by the French Ministry of National Education. It delivers a dual-curriculum model: a French Section following the French national program from maternelle through Terminale (preparing students for the Baccalauréat), and a Hellenic Section preparing students for Greek panhellenic university entrance examinations. An International British Section offers Cambridge IGCSE examinations alongside the French curriculum, and the school maintains language partnerships enabling DELF-DALF, CELI, and DELE certifications.

The institution supplements its core academic offering with extensive services including school transportation across 24 bus routes spanning five geographic zones (priced €1,612–€2,050 annually), cafeteria and restaurant services, mandatory accident/liability insurance (€12/student/year), and a layered extracurricular portfolio (Model UN, theatre, athletics, L'Écho d'Eugène student newspaper). Its technology stack combines off-the-shelf education platforms — Pronote, Eduka, Classter, Edumoov, E-sidoc — with operational tooling such as Panolympia GPS bus tracking. The administrative headcount on record is 63, with leadership structured around a Proviseur, Proviseure adjointe, and directors for Primary, Collège, and Lycée sections.

The business model is tuition-funded with ancillary fee streams. Revenue is generated through recurring tuition (set annually by the AEFG Board of Directors and billed quarterly), a one-time non-refundable €900 first registration fee, zone-priced transportation subscriptions, mandatory insurance, and cafeteria service fees. Distribution is direct via the school secretariat and the Eduka online registration platform, supported by open house events (Portes Ouvertes) from November to January. Ownership rests with AEFE, a French government agency under the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, with local governance via the A.E.F.G. parental management committee.
