About Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle

The Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle is the flagship French state school in London, operated under the authority of the French Ministry of Education and the AEFE (Agence pour l'Enseignement Français à l'Étranger). Founded in 1915, it is one of the oldest and largest French schools outside France, educating over 3,500 students across multiple sites in south and west London.

The school delivers the complete French national curriculum from maternelle through to the Baccalauréat — one of the most rigorous and internationally recognised qualifications in the world. With remarkably competitive fees compared to British independent schools, the Lycée offers exceptional value for French-speaking families and those who wish their children to be educated in the French system.

Located near South Kensington's French quarter — home to the Institut Français and the Cité Universitaire — the Lycée sits at the heart of London's Francophone cultural community. It is also popular with bilingual and multilingual families from across the EU and francophone Africa who want a European education pathway within the UK.
