Welcome to Artist in Residence, Ernesto NOVO

After an extensive and thorough selection process, our school has successfully identified our inaugural Artist in Residence for the Action Beyond Words program. As a reminder, LFSF was awarded a significant grant of $100,000 from the Edward E Ford Foundation to support an Artist in Residence program spanning three years. This grant was generously matched by our school community last year.

The objective was to identify an artist who meets the following criteria:

  • A visual artist: to create a lasting work of art to embellish our campuses.
  • A Francophone artist from a French-speaking country: to engage and communicate with our students in French.
  • Centered around the themes of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging: aiming to honor the rich diversity and multiculturalism in our school community.


In January and February 2024, we will have the privilege of welcoming Ernesto Novo. Ernest Novo is a French artist of Vietnamese origin, and a portraitist who has a passion for travel and explores his art through collaboration with people of all ages and backgrounds. He is enthusiastic about working with students of all age groups, including our preschool students!

As he was in Paris recently to attend the Baccalauréat Français International (former OIB) Conference, our Head of School Emmanuel Texier seized the opportunity to visit him at his workshop and took some pictures for you (see below). We are truly excited to witness this project take form, a process which has taken us two years to finalize – from the initial proposal to the Edward E. Ford Foundation, through the LFSF fundraising campaign, and now, the inaugural year of its realization.

What early college acceptances reveal about the Lycee

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.

Learning to live together

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.

Our students participated in the AAEH contest
Eloquence Contest - Ambassadeurs, Ambassadrices en herbes 2025

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.
