Established in 1964 by Raymond and Esther Kabbaz, Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles is an independent school that provides a bilingual education to a diverse student body from preschool through 12th grade. The school is highly regarded for its structured and disciplined approach, combining the intellectual depth of the French educational system with the creativity and breadth of American standards. It attracts a cosmopolitan community, including many families from the international diplomatic and entertainment sectors.
The school is spread across several campuses, most notably the state-of-the-art 'Campus Raymond and Esther Kabbaz' in Cheviot Hills. Students have the option to follow the French section, leading to the French Baccalaureate, or the International section, which emphasizes American college preparatory work and Advanced Placement (AP) courses. The academic environment is competitive yet supportive, aimed at producing global citizens who are fluent in multiple languages and cultures.
Notable for its alumni network and its Theater (Théâtre Raymond Kabbaz), the school places a strong emphasis on the arts and physical education alongside its rigorous academic tracks. Le Lycée remains one of the most prestigious international institutions on the West Coast, consistently sending graduates to Ivy League and top European universities.
