History
The school was founded in 1967 as Lycée Français la Pérouse and was originally a satellite campus of the French American International School. The French School of Marin merged with the LFSF in 1986.[2]
LFSF Alumni include children of famous musicians, artists and actors, children of the ambassadorial and socialite scenes, as well as various members of European nobility. The tuition runs over 35,000 dollars annually, and there have been examples of extravagant donations to the school-including Picassos and Fabergé eggs. The school continually ranks among the best and hardest schools among the Lycée à l'Etranger system, with graduates attending Ivy leagues and Parisien prepas every year.
