Lycee Francais de San Francisco (LFSF) is the only complete immersion French school in the Bay Area, preparing students from many different nationalities and backgrounds to succeed in both the French and the Amercian school system and enter competitive universities in North America, Europe and around the world.
LFSF welcomes children from age 2 through 5th grade in its beautiful Sausalito campus, then from 6th through 12th grade in the San Francisco location.
The curriculum follows the rigorous and broad French curriculum and is completed by a strong English program that allows students to get their High School diploma at the end of 11th grade.
Non French-speakers can join the school between the ages of 2 and 5 (Preschool and Kindergarten).
We are a truly multicultural environment, with students from many different nationalities coming together to engage in a proven college preparatory curriculum.
LFSF is ideal for engaged, active learners who are not afraid of academic challenge.
We have three campuses, two in San Francisco and one in Marin.
Lycee Francais de San Francisco offers a unique opportunity for
young children to learn and grow in a truly international
environment. LFSF operates on three campuses: primary and secondary
schools in San Francisco, and a new, fully renovated primary school
campus in Sausalito. From a very young age, our students learn to
express themselves as curious and motivated learners, exchanging
cultural and linguistic perspectives within a rich and diverse
student body representing 65 nationalities and 35 languages
overall.
LFSF teaches children about the world by immersing its students
in language and culture from day one. We accept students based on
the calendar year, so Preschool can begin as early as 2 years for
September through December birthdays. Non-francophones are able to
integrate Preschool, PreK and Kindergarten classrooms, and are
prepared to begin 1st grade in full immersion. Our young learners
flourish in a program that fosters self-awareness and develops
respect for others. Lyce Franais de San Francisco strives to
promote initiative, autonomy, cooperation and individual
responsibility, all the while preparing its littlest students for
the structure of elementary school through art, pre-reading,
writing, math and science activities, developmentally appropriate
physical challenges, routine, focused tasks, and social learning.
Whether they continue through Kindergarten, fifth grade or twelfth,
our students find themselves uniquely ready for tomorrow`s
world.
The benefit of France`s renowned centralized curriculum is that
all students are prepared for college success through an
established curriculum that sets high expectations and teaches
students to think logically and clearly. The uniform curriculum and
teaching methods of the French system allow children to transfer
easily from one French school to another as their families move
from San Francisco to Hong Kong, London, Moscow or Paris. For
families who stay in the Bay Area, LFSF is a single solution to
students` education, preparing the youngest to grow as open and
curious learners from Preschool up through receipt of their US High
School Diploma, Baccalaureate, or even OIB.
