Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orleans

Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans is a free public charter school created in partnership with the Louisiana Department of Education, following the Louisiana state curriculum and the French national curriculum. We strive to provide a French curriculum education from kindergarten through high school in a non-denominational environment where social diversity is considered essential to the student’s education. Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans belongs to the lycée à l’etranger system under Agence pour l’enseignement français à l’étranger or AEFE, a network of 135 schools and colleges established outside of France in 139 countries around the world.

We began with three pioneering classes on our first campus located at 5401 South Claiborne Avenue. Since then, we have expanded rapidly across the Uptown New Orleans area to include our Lower Campus, Johnson Campus, and Priestley Campus.
