With a long history of openness and tolerance, the Lycée Français de Berlin offers a quality European education, open to the world, characterised by an approach which favours multilingualism and in which the pupil is at the centre of teaching.
Located in the southern Tiergarten district, our Lycée is a large family, a place where students feel at home and develop as individuals to become responsible citizens aware of the challenges of the 21st century.
The Lycée Français de Berlin is a Berlin public school recognised by the French Ministry of Education as a French school abroad.
It is both the oldest school in Berlin and the oldest French lycée in the AEFE (Agence pour l'Enseignement Français à l'Etranger) network in the world.
Founded by Frederic III of Prussia in 1689 for French Huguenot refugees, the Lycée was initially located in the Wangenheim Palace on Niederlagstraße. In 1873 it moved to the Reichstagsufer in a building destroyed by bombing in 1945. The Lycée soon reopened in Wedding and took on its current form as a Franco-German partnership in 1953, the year it moved to Kurt-Schumacher-Damm. It has been located in the Tiergarten district since 1974 and, together with the Ecole Voltaire, forms a Franco-German campus offering French schooling from the ages of 3 to 18.
Our mission is to offer our pupils a multilingual education in a multicultural environment, to discover and develop their talents, so that they become committed and enlightened citizens of the world.

Our learning principles : Growing up, getting to know yourself and building a plan for the future
At the Lycée Français de Berlin, teaching conforms to the French curriculum while incorporating the specific characteristics of the Land of Berlin.
Learning is based on student motivation, using an active pedagogy that is often project-based. Teachers are guides or facilitators of learning who lead pupils towards excellence. Pupils often work in groups, and class work makes ample room for pupils' questions and interests. Learning is interactive and collaborative
Our students become aware of their rights, duties and responsibilities. They gradually understand the principles of life in democratic societies: gender equality and mutual respect, the fight against discrimination, environmental protection and sustainable development, and openness to Europe and the world.
