Le Lycée français de Los Angeles (French School of Los Angeles) is a private bilingual education school located in the Westside Village neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. The school was founded in 1964.

School

As of March 2026, the school had more than 675 students, about 30%–40% of them being French citizens and the remainder Americans or incoming students from over 54 nations.[1] No prior knowledge of French is required to enroll at any grade. The school is accredited by the French Ministry of Education and WASC, and confers the U.S. High School Diploma, AP Capstone, as well as the French Baccalauréat.

It is composed of the following campuses:

  • Campus 55 (Jr Preschool, Preschool)
  • Century City Campus (K1, K2, and 1st Grade)
  • Main Campus (Grade 2 through 8)
  • The Raymond & Esther Kabbaz High School (Grade 9 through 12)

Former campuses

In 1980, the Lycee bought the 6.2-acre (2.5 ha) former Parkway School property, located in the Hollywood Riviera section of Torrance, from the Torrance Unified School District. This property became the Lycee's Torrance campus, and as of February 1990 the campus had 100 students. In November 1989, the Lycee sold the property.[2]

Lycée français de Los Angeles operated a San Fernando Valley campus in Woodland Hills,[3] on the site of Platt Elementary School.[4] The Pacific Palisades campus on Marquez Avenue was destroyed during the Palisades fire in January 2025.
