Welcome to Lycée Français Saint Louis de Stockholm!
A French school in Sweden, a Swedish school and an international school: this unique identity lies at the heart of LFSL’s educational project.
From first class through upper secondary school, our students grow up surrounded by several languages, cultures and different ways of learning and understanding the world. Our ambition is to provide them with a demanding, multilingual and open education, grounded in the French curriculum, our deep-rooted connection to Swedish society, and the richness of an international school community.
The quality of the work carried out at LFSL has recently been recognised through the renewal of the school’s accreditation by the French Ministry of Education, following a process that highlighted the many strengths of our school. Two further recognitions have been added: the EFE3D – French school abroad committed to sustainable development – Level 2 certification, and pHARe Level 1 certification, which supports our commitment to preventing and combating bullying and harassment.
Our membership of the French international education network, coordinated by AEFE (Agence pour l’Enseignement Français à l’Étranger), is an essential asset. Beyond its impact on the identity of our school and the many opportunities it provides for the professional development and further training of our staff, it enriches the educational and pedagogical experience of our students and teams through numerous projects and encounters.
In the same spirit, this year we are welcoming the first six participants in the “One Year in Stockholm” programme. They have come from France and from other schools within the network to spend a year immersed in Swedish school and culture, while in turn enriching our community through their backgrounds and experiences.
The exceptional French-Swedish environment in which LFSL operates also offers our students many opportunities to learn in different ways. Projects developed with our French, Swedish and international partners enable them to put their linguistic, intercultural and pluricultural skills into practice and to enjoy particularly enriching, and sometimes truly exceptional, experiences. The news and events of this new school year already provide some wonderful examples of this.
The 2026–2027 school year will also be an important year at LFSL as we prepare for the future. Together with our students, staff, parents and partners, we will undertake a review and rewriting of our school project in order to define together the priorities that will guide our work over the coming years.
This reflection will, of course, place considerable emphasis on the success and well-being of every member of our community. It resonates with the theme chosen by AEFE for this year: “Promote, prevent, support: let’s take action together for our health.” Health, particularly mental health, the school climate, and the well-being of both students and staff will therefore be at the heart of our reflection and our actions.
In his back-to-school message, available below, the new Director General of AEFE, Alexandre Morois, recalls the ambitions that bring together the schools in the network and invites all members of their communities to continue building a school that is academically demanding, inclusive, multilingual and open to the world.

Behind the projects, programmes and labels, our priority remains unchanged:
to enable every student to learn, grow, find their place and build their future
in a demanding, caring, multilingual environment that is open to the world.
This is the ambition that LFSL staff bring to life every day, with the commitment of our students, the trust of their families and the support of our partners.
I wish you an excellent 2026–2027 school year and invite you to explore this website and our news to discover the richness of life at Lycée Français Saint Louis de Stockholm.
