Lycée Français International Simone de Beauvoir

The Lycée International Français Simone de Beauvoir is a French international school in Egypt welcoming French, Egyptian, and other nationalities. It follows the French national education programs, with agreements allowing students to follow the Egyptian program and to sit national exams; the school awards both the French baccalaureate and the Egyptian baccalaureate. Instruction is in French and the school supports multilingual, intercultural education with Arabic and English used as languages of communication. The curriculum covers core knowledge areas and civic education, and learning is organized around cycles and interdisciplinary projects (EPI).

The school provides education in visual arts and visual arts and music, and actively promotes cultural and artistic development through a structured arts program. It pursues a policy of culture and sport via the Parcours d'Éducation Artistique et Culturelle (PEAC) and offers a broad range of artistic and cultural activities. The school aims to diversify artistic domains through cultural projects and events, connecting school life with the wider community (for example, poetry festivals and artistic initiatives). PEAC emphasizes creativity, collaboration, and student engagement in the arts.

French is the vehicular language, and the school guarantees plurilingual and intercultural education in line with linguistic policies. Communication within the school relies primarily on Arabic and English, reinforcing linguistic diversity. The institution highlights openness to world cultures and the multilingual dimension as central to preparing globally aware citizens. The overall approach situates language learning within a broad cultural project and intercultural dialogue.

Cultural and artistic events and the PEAC program promote student engagement through projects and creative activities, strengthening social collaboration within the school community. The project emphasizes living culture, openness to the environment, and collaboration with external partners, making the school a hub of artistic creation and cultural diffusion. Large-scale cultural and artistic initiatives and events are intended to enrich student life and social participation.

Citizenship and health are central to the school's ethos, with the Parcours Santé et Citoyenneté addressing health, safety, environment, and first aid, as well as digital ethics and responsible use of technology. The school aims to involve all members of the school community in shared values and civic projects, giving meaning to school life rules and fostering a common culture. These efforts are intended to support health and citizenship and encourage ethical digital practices across the student body.

The establishment organizes its strategic focus around five axes: mastering the French language; offering excellence education open to the world and its diversity; educating enlightened citizens in a complex world; valorizing the school's identity and developing its communication; and implementing an ambitious cultural and sporting policy. It emphasizes developing oral fluency in French, strengthening written French, and expanding project-based, cross-disciplinary work to support all students, including those still mastering French. The framework also underlines student engagement in shared values and civic projects as part of leadership development.

A cultural and sports policy is central to the school's approach, expanding artistic and athletic opportunities via PEAC and a broad sports program. The school aims to offer a wide range of activities and competitions and to accommodate high-level athletes within its program, promoting students' physical and artistic well-being and personal development. The overall emphasis is on holistic growth, creativity, and well-being through structured cultural and sporting activities.
