Lycée Français International de Lusaka is a private school within the AEFE network. Governance comprises a School Board and a School Council. The School Board oversees the budget and long‑term strategy for the school and is made up of eight members: five elected parents from the School Assembly and two management representatives (Head of School and the French Embassy representative), who are consultative voices. The School Council handles pedagogical and educational matters for all students in primary and secondary and is composed of twelve members: one administrative/social/service staff member; three teaching/educational staff; three parents; one student representative; and four management members including the head of school and the embassy representative. The School Board is not the parents' representatives; the parents' representatives sit on the School Council.
