The Lycée Kléber is a French public secondary school located in the Alsatian capital Strasbourg. It is generally considered to be one of France's best lycées. This lycée bears the name of the famous French Général Kléber who was murdered in Egypt in 1800.

Diploma

It offers both a secondary-level curriculum (a lycée, with a student body of around 2.000), and a university-level curriculum (known as classes préparatoires, or prépas, also with about 900 pupils), preparing students for entrance to the elite Grandes Écoles. At the yearly competitive entrance examinations for the scientific and business Grandes Écoles, students from the Lycée Kléber's classes préparatoires regularly have good results.
