The International Track is the yin the to French track's yang! Delivering 80% of its program in English, it is open to students who do not yet have any French language.
It welcomes its youngest students in K and Gr1 on the Sausalito campus. Amina MAINE explains the IB approach used in the International Track and how it invites students to be fully part of their learning.
The International Track program continues on in Middle and High School.

Action Beyond Words is the LFSF Artist in Residence program. Over the course of 3 consecutive years, it invites francophone artists* from around the world to to collaboratively create a visual art piece that integrates our diverse curriculum to produce a lasting artifact that can be displayed on our school campuses.
Ernesto NOVO was our first Artist in Residence this school year.
This series celebrates our Seniors and Isabella is opening the 2024 Season. During her 12 years at the Lycee, Isabella founded the LFSF Girls Who Code Club and has made a lot of friends. Next year, she's going to Columbia University to study Computer science or Engineering. Discover how she foresees her future and what she sees to be her LFSF legacy!
George has been an LFSF parent for close to a decade. When he and his family made the LFSF choice, it wasn't an obvious one as his family lives in the East Bay. But with LFSF, they found "a school that not only broadens the mind but elevates the heart". Max (Gr 11) joins his dad in sharing their experience.
For many international families, LFSF is the school they call home.
Amongst our three campuses, we count some 50 nationalities and 30+ spoken languages.
Nothing replaces the magic feeling you feel when coming to campus.
Although we don't have any more open house event scheduled for this season,
we are still looking forward to showing you around.
Just let us know what you're interested in and we'll take care of the rest!

The LFSF Parent Association is inviting our community to attend a screening of the thought-provoking documentary 'Screenagers', an award-winning film that probes into the vulnerable corners of family life and depicts messy struggles over social media, video games and academics. The film offers solutions on how we can help our kids navigate the digital world.
George has been an LFSF parent for close to a decade. He's joined by his son Max (Gr 11) and together, they have an open heart conversation about their experience at school.
When Rebecca's parents were looking for an international school for their three anglophone daughters, they made the LFSF choice. Thanks to that decision, Rebecca has been able to learn in multiple languages and benefit from a Lycee education. Rebecca also leads the Coalition of Black Students and Allies student club, bringing in new initiatives designed to bring students together.
We're excited to introduce a brand-new series showcasing important conversations led by members of our community. We're starting with Naya who talks with Martha about HPP, a cause they both deeply care about.
Let's meet Zara, a Gr12 student and founder of the LEAF club, which stands for Lycée Environmental Action Force! She explains her motivation and ecological engagement that led to the creation of this club!
Arthur and Oliver are both in Gr12, and very involved in the LFSF MUN ( Model UN) Club. They have been participating in that club for a couple of year and this year were selected as best delegates in the local meet. They look forward to meeting students from all states in the Spring stage of the debate competition, in New York. As seniors, they also reflect on their time at LFSF and the many opportunities they got to enjoy at the school they will miss when they move onto the next chapter of their lives.
We have lots of information and many stories to share!
