We love LFSF!!!

Our 2 kids graduated from LFSF. Best school ever!!! The school is fairly small. Teachers are dedicated and attentive. Parent-teacher conferences are very useful.

Couldn't have asked for a better school for my kids

This is a fantastic school focused on bilingual education. Here I found the best of US and French education for my daughter (who graduated last year) and my son. I wish to congratulate teachers, non-teaching staff, and administration for always seeking solutions in order to provide a tailor-made education and experience. To me, this school is unique in the Bay area for its incredible academic program combined with strong social and emotional support.

Amazing french and english education

Our son is in his 4th year at the Lycée and he loves it. He is completely fluent in both written and verbal French and English. And the academics are absolutely top notch – he’s far ahead of his peers at other schools in reading and math.

Workload challenges

May 6, 2024

For all my years at this school, it has been ups and downs, but mostly with downs. I find my peers, and myself often burnt-out by the workload that teachers give, and the uneven days on which it’s placed. I get homework is important for us to learn, but some days there’s so much homework and on others none.
