The Lycée Français Marie Curie de Zurich (LFZ) is an establishment in Switzerland that forms part of the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE).

Founded on 5 June 1955 by a group of parents, the French school taught its first class on the premises of the Catholic Mission on Hottingerstrasse.

The group of parent volunteers applied to the cantonal and municipal school authorities to obtain the necessary permits.

However, the education authority of the Canton of Zurich decided to exclude Swiss children from the French school.

[9] The number of students increased and the board of governors decided to buy a private house in 1959 on Rütistrasse.

In 1995, the French baccalaureate finally opened the doors to Swiss universities for lycée students provided they had an average of more than 12 out of 20.

[12] The number of students doubled between 2003 and 2010 and the students were spread over four locations: the kindergarten moved to Stettbach (in 2007), the primary school remained in Tobelacker, the Ursprung building was reserved for the lower secondary, and the upper secondary occupied rented space in the SAWI building (in 2011).

In November 2012 at a general assembly, the parents' association approved the decision to construct a building with a capacity of 1,100 pupils.

[28] The school belongs to the PASCH network and is a DSD-Schule,[29] i.e. an examination centre for the German DSD certification.

[citation needed] From September 2017, all pupils from CP to Terminale received a tablet for educational activities.
