The Lycée Français de San Francisco: The Reference for Bilingual Excellence in the Bay Area Founded in 1967, the Lycée is a leading independent international school serving students from preschool through Grade 12 across three campuses in San Francisco and Marin. As the Bay Area’s premier French-American school, the Lycée offers two exceptional tracks: one grounded in the academically rigorous French national curriculum; the other powered by the International Baccalaureate (IB) for students joining in Middle or High School—no French required. Rooted in the values of curiosity, empathy, respect, and excellence, students grow up multilingual, intellectually agile, and globally minded. They graduate with dual diplomas, well-prepared for top universities worldwide. Families are drawn to the Lycée for its academic reputation and stay for its tight-knit community. Whether starting in preschool or joining later, students thrive in a school where languages, cultures, and ideas intersect.
