Run in conjunction with the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE), the Lycée Français International is part of a network of 500 schools in 130 countries.

It offers a trilingual programme, all lessons in primary school (kindergarten and elementary) are given in French (13h), English (10h) and Dutch (3h).

[2] Non-French or non-English speaking pupils are supported during their initial contact with their new language thanks to a system called Passerelle, which empowers them through intensive sessions given in very small groups to acquire the tools necessary for immersion learning.

[4] Moreover LFIA is only 40 kilometres away from Brussels and easily reachable by train or public transport, making it possible to welcome children from all around the country.

In 1919 a girl-school opened its doors in the actual buildings of the Lycée Français International under the name of Collège Marie-José.
