The Lycée International Français de São Paulo, commonly referred to as Lycée Pasteur de São Paulo, is a Brazilian private school contracted with the AEFE since 1985. The school offers two curricular tracks: the general French curriculum and a Brazilian international section, serving students from age 2 to 17. It operates on two campuses, Vergueiro for primary and Mairinque for secondary, reflecting a two-campus arrangement aligned with different stages of learning. The institution is part of the Fondation Pasteur and is supervised by the Secretaria da Educação of the State of São Paulo; the Regimento Escolar is published annually, ensuring governance and transparency. The AEFE convention, renewed in 2020, links the school with French education abroad while maintaining local oversight. The Grand Lycée Pasteur project aims to reach about 2,500 students by 2035, signaling a long-term commitment to bilingual education and cross-cultural formation in a Brazilian context for international families.
