The Lycee Francais de San Francisco: The Reference for Bilingual Excellence in the Bay Area
Founded in 1967, the Lycee 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 Lycee 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 Lycee 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.
