Lycée Français de Vienne (LFV) is a French international school in Vienna and a member of the AEFE network. It serves students aged 3 to 18 and operates four schools in one: Maternelle, École élémentaire, Collège and Lycée, mirroring the French National Education System. The curriculum blends the French Ministry of Education framework for French lessons with the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research curriculum for native German instruction. From nursery onward, pupils learn French and German, with English added from Year 5; English, Arabic and Spanish are also taught. LFV spans two campuses, Grinzinger and Liechtenstein, and offers extensive after‑school activities. It features libraries including the Kindergarten Library, the Bibliothèque Centre de Documentation (BCD) with over 20,000 books and 30 subscriptions, and the CDI for collège and lycée. A distinctive feature is Studio Molière (opened 2019) alongside the Palais Clam‑Gallas, LFV's premises since 1954. The school runs a wide range of clubs and participates in Vienna school championships.
