The Lycée Français International Charles de Gaulle de Pékin (LFIPékin; Chinese: 北京法国国际学校) is a French international school in Chaoyang District, Beijing. It has primary, junior high school (collège) and sixth-form/senior high school (lycée) levels. [2] It is directly operated by the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE), an agency of the French government. [3]
It was previously the Lycée Français International de Pékin (LFIP; "The International French School of Beijing" ) in French, and years earlier it was the Lycée Français de Pékin ( Chinese: 北京法国学校). [4]
The school first opened in September 1965. [5]
In 2014 the school had 950 students. At one time the school had 1,050 students. [6] In 2019 it had 826 students. [7]
As of 2017 [update] its students originate from over 50 countries: 75% originate from Europe, 17% originate from Africa, 4.5% originate from the Americas, and 3.5% originate from Asia and Oceania. [5]
Since 10 May 2016, there is only one campus: in JingShunDongJie, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100600, China.
The campus opening ceremony was on 16 May 2016. [8]
It was designed by a French architect, Jacques Ferrier; the total budget was 23.9 million euros (231 million Hong Kong dollars), with 16.5 million for building costs as well as other funds for a 40-year lease. The building has measures to prevent effects from Beijing's air pollution. [6]
The groundbreaking ceremony for the new campus occurred on 19 October 2014. It has room for 1,500 students; [9] this is an increase by 30% from the total capacity of the previous facilities. [6] The current campus has an area of 37,000 square metres (400,000 sq ft), with 21,000 square metres (230,000 sq ft) occupied by buildings. [9]
Prior to May 2016 there were three campuses: one for nursery/preschool (maternelle) classes, one for primary and junior high school (collège), and the senior high school (lycée) facilities at Chaoyang Community College ( Chinese: 朝阳社区学院; pinyin: Cháoyáng Shèqū Xuéyuàn). [10] The principal school campus was the primary and junior high campus. [11]
