Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans was founded in 2011 to fill the need for an education option missing from Louisiana's rich cultural landscape - a rigorous French and Louisiana-based program that could provide students pathways to global opportunities while furthering Louisiana's French cultures.

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 French abroad school system under the Agency for French Education Abroad (Agence pour l’enseignement français à l’étranger) or AEFE, a network of 566 schools and colleges established outside of France in 138 countries around the world teaching more than 380,000 students. We began with three pioneering classes on our first campus located at 5401 South Claiborne Avenue. Since then, we have expanded rapidly serving PK4 - 12th grade students across the Uptown New Orleans area at our Lower Campus, Johnson Campus, and Priestley Campus.
