This holiday season, we're celebrating the richness of the human connections and the variety of cultures that make the Lycée such a special place. From cultural events to wellbeing, our community is all about building a sense of belonging where everyone feels at home.
At the heart of every successful educational institution lies a strong, vibrant community. This is no different at the Lycée Français de San Francisco, where community is not just a concept—it’s the foundation of who we are. “Community is not just a buzzword,” explains Emmanuel Texier, Head of School. “It’s the heart of our school’s identity. Every parent, teacher, and staff member works together to create a nurturing environment where students thrive academically and personally.”
Learn more about what makes the Lycée community so unique, and explains why this is a place our community calls home.

LATEST NEWS
It's a week to savor at the Lycée! Students are introduced to new flavors and techniques, learn about nutrition, diverse food cultures from around the world and new cooking skills!
As we reach the midpoint of the academic year, we can already share exciting news about our Class of 2025 and their early college admissions results. The quality of these results certainly demonstrate how well-tailored college choices are to each student’s aspirations as well as the remarkable availability, and expertise of Lycée teachers and college counselors. However, the challenge does not end with college admissions and the ability to adapt and succeed in the new university environment is just as critical.
Before children begin using books, paper, pens, or tablets, they first learn how to live together, build friendships, and resolve conflicts. These fundamental, lifelong social skills are initially practiced on the playground and then intentionally nurtured through circle time, reading, class discussions, school plays, and clubs.
The theme of the 2025 edition is 'Francophonie: A Journey Through Time and Space'. Our students tackled this challenging topic with great skill, exploring what the French-speaking world means to them and the difficult, often problematic conditions under which it was formed. At times, they connected the subject to their personal histories, while also reflecting on how speaking French has proven beneficial in their lives.
