The Lycée Français International de la Louisiane was founded in 2011 to fill the need for an education option missing from Louisiana's cultural landscape—a rigorous French- and Louisiana-based program that provides pathways to global opportunities while furthering Louisiana's French cultures. It is a free public charter school created in partnership with the Louisiana Department of Education, following the Louisiana state curriculum and the French national curriculum. It operates in a non-denominational environment where social diversity is essential to the student's education. It belongs to the AEFE network of French abroad schools. The school began with three pioneering classes on its first campus at 5401 South Claiborne Avenue and has since expanded to serve PK4–12 across Uptown New Orleans, including an Elementary Campus in the French Quarter.
Our mission is to design and provide an innovative, world-class French-accredited learning model by immersing students in a culturally and linguistically rich environment that merges both the French National and Louisiana curricula to inspire students through high-quality, diverse, complex, and unique learning experiences. Our vision is to be the premier French-American public school with a commitment to revitalizing Louisiana's French cultural heritage by empowering our stakeholders to be curious, creative thinkers and global citizens. The school operates in a non-denominational environment where social diversity is essential to education.
