Lycée Franco-Argentin Jean Mermoz

Lycée Franco-Argentin Jean Mermoz (Spanish: Liceo Jean Mermoz) is a large French–Argentine school constituted by three educational levels. The school building is situated in the Buenos Aires neighbourhood of Núñez, Argentina.

The school was founded on October 3, 1967 as a result of a cooperation agreement between France and Argentina. Two days later, the first President of the Fifth Republic Charles De Gaulle placed the cornerstone of the future building. Finally the Lycée opened its doors on March 10, 1969. Its name honors the courage of French airman Jean Mermoz and his contribution to the development of South America's aviation.

The objective of the 1967 French–Argentine cooperation agreement was the integration of both educational systems as a means to improve mutual understanding between the countries. Graduates are expected to complete a rigorous academic program and to demonstrate a strong sense of public responsibility and exemplary citizenship. Completion of the course of study gives graduates the opportunity to enter both the Argentine and French University systems

The Lycée Franco-Argentin Jean Mermoz offers a fully bilingual French–Spanish education as well as a solid English program that certifies students to the B2 level of the Common European Framework for Languages. Educational programs are inspired in fundamental human rights values and French and Argentine academic domestic traditions as well as in students' academic excellence. Students get the opportunity to obtain two academic degrees, baccalauréat and bachillerato, corresponding to the French and Argentine titles similar to high school in the United States.
