Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles was founded in 1964 by Raymond and Esther Kabbaz, who were teachers at the Lycée in New York. They petitioned Sacramento to change the California Education Code to permit languages other than English, enabling the school's opening and paving the way for other multilingual schools in California. The founding effort established the school as a multilingual education option in Los Angeles. The school marks sixty years of operation.
More than 50 nationalities are represented among families at LycéeLA, creating a diverse and vibrant community. Parents participate in their children's academic lives through the Parent Committee, and every class has a Parent Representative who works with the campus head, teachers, and administration. There are many opportunities for parents to volunteer their time and contribute to community life. The community runs charity drives such as the Food Drive for the LA Regional Food Bank in November, the Toy Drive for the I Have a Dream Foundation and Spark of Love in December, and a Book Drive in May, along with a wide range of events including Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Lunar New Year, Career Day, Kindness Week, Black History, Francophonie Bazaar, Open Houses, Valentine's Day, dances, plays, recitals, a uniform exchange, Galas, and more.

It operates across West Los Angeles campuses, including Campus 55, Century City, Pacific Palisades, Main Campus, and the Raymond and Esther Kabbaz High School, with facilities such as a gym and Théâtre Raymond Kabbaz performing arts space.

Mandarin is studied in grades 3–5; Latin in grade 6; and another language such as Spanish or German starts in grade 9. The FAB combines the French Baccalaureate with AP exams. The school is accredited by WASC and French MOE and offers AP and Capstone courses.
