With five Los Angeles-area campuses (Burbank, Los Feliz, Orange County, Pasadena, and West Valley), and over one thousand students, the School holds triple accreditation from the French Ministry of Education, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), and the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). Approximately 10% of our students receive financial aid from the French Government and 23% of our total student population receives school-funded financial aid. Since 1978, the School has been instilling the love of learning in all its students through small classes and low student-to-teacher ratios. With over 50 nationalities and 39 spoken languages represented on the campuses, students study and live in a diverse global community every day.
