LFPL in Istanbul is a private international school delivering the French national curriculum through the AEFE network. The school operates on two campuses: Beyoğlu for Preschool and Primary, and Tarabya for Middle and High School, linked by a school bus. The curriculum centers on multilingual education, with French as the language of instruction, Turkish taught from preschool, and English introduced as a foreign language; German or Spanish are also offered. The program strengthens students' written and spoken French, expands foreign language courses through PARLE, and supports an English-language pathway in the sixth form. A French International Baccalaureate (BFI) may be opened as a flagship language programme. The general baccalaureate prepares students for higher education in France and abroad. The two-site structure supports a continuous journey from nursery to lycée, with modern facilities for language, science and technology, arts, and sport.
