Lycée International de Houston (LIH) welcomes international students seeking a rigorous, multilingual secondary education in a supportive and academically focused environment. Located in Houston’s Energy Corridor, LIH is a private day school offering internationally recognized academic pathways designed to support university study in the United States and abroad.
LIH is approved by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) and authorized to issue Form I-20 to eligible students for the F-1 student visa process
Academic Pathways for International Students
International students at LIH may pursue one of the following diploma pathways, depending on academic background and eligibility:
- U.S. High School Diploma
- U.S. High School Diploma + French Baccalauréat

These pathways provide flexibility and strong preparation for admission to universities in the United States, Europe, and other international destinations.
Admissions & SEVP Process
International applicants must complete the standard admissions process. Once a student is accepted and enrollment requirements are met, LIH will issue Form I-20, which is required to apply for an F-1 student visa.
Admissions are offered on a rolling basis, and applications from relocating families may be reviewed throughout the academic year, subject to space availability in the intended grade level.
