Additional Academic Opportunities: Open Learning

The Startup Lycée program was initiated in 2016. All Gr10 students participate in this important event at the Hult International Business School. For the 2019 edition, students worked on innovative  and sustainable solution for the city of the future and the city of today.

As professional artists come and visit the school, our students benefit from their insights and experience. The TLF, the best stage for French Theater in the Bay Area, is a unique opportunity for high school students to exchange with renowned and awarded artists.

For the past few years, thanks to LFSF parents' generous contributions to the Annual Fund, our students have enjoyed the visits of famous artists in residence coming from France.

"Welcoming an artist in residence at first, it’s creating a relation. It’s a great way for all of us here to actually put a face on a book or a series of children’s books. We get to know more about the person who brings this story to us : we can exchange and ask questions. And, of course, we get more attached to the story and the author in the process.

But above all, it’s a fantastic learning experience for the children. They learn real illustrating techniques, they understand how to imagine and write a story, design and bring to life characters, and also how to build the book - I mean, the object itself. And who knows? These visits could be a revelation for some of them, because it is an entire profession that they start to understand. Children realize that writing can be an actual job!" – Nadine LEMAITRE, Librarian
