A Sparkling Start at Shanghai French School!

The new school year has begun, and what a start it’s been! Both our Qingpu and Yangpu campuses were buzzing with smiles, energy, and excitement as students of all ages discovered their classmates and teachers.

Words from the School Leadership

Dear LFS Community,

As we kick off this new school year, we’re excited to welcome nearly 1,530 students across our two campuses, including 200 new families who are joining a vibrant community representing more than 60 nationalities. This diversity is what makes our school such a dynamic, enriching place to learn and grow.

Our goals remain clear: to deliver academic excellence, foster innovation, nurture multilingualism, and care for the well-being of every student. We want each of them to grow with curiositycreativitycritical thinking, and a collaborative spirit. This year, science will take center stage, with inspiring encounters, discoveries, and hands-on experiments guided by exceptional women scientists. We’ll also be highlighting artistic and cultural practices, and celebrating a major milestone: 30 years of shared history with our partner, the Deutsche Schule Shanghai, on the Eurocampus, a unique symbol of cooperation and community.

Living and learning together means showing kindness in everything we do, building trust, and acting with respect, for the benefit of our students and our entire community.

Let’s make this school year a shared success. Wishing you all a wonderful start to the school year ahead!

Laurent Fouillard, Principal

Benjamin Bilteryst, Executive Director
