Daegu Foreign Language High School (Principal Hong Byung-woo) announced on the 15th that it visited Lyc?e Ernest Renan in France and established a sister school partnership between the two schools, signing a mutual agreement that includes reciprocal visits between students and teachers starting in 2026.

Lyc?e Ernest Renan is located in the city of Saint-Brieuc and is a prestigious high school with a history of over 130 years since its establishment in 1890. It is engaged in exchanges with several European countries as well as China and Japan, and has expressed a desire for cultural exchange with Korean high schools.

Through this sister school partnership, starting from January 2026, students who choose French as their second foreign language and wish to participate will have the opportunity to visit Lyc?e Ernest Renan for about a week to experience French high school life and French culture.

French students are scheduled to visit Daegu Foreign Language High School for about a week in October 2026 to experience Korean high school life and Korean culture.

Principal Hong Byung-woo said, “It is meaningful to be the first in Daegu to establish a sister school partnership with a French high school. I hope that Daegu Foreign Language High School students who study French as a minor will increase their interest in the French language and culture through the sister school exchange program and have the opportunity to grow into global talents.”
