History

Lycée Français International, founded in 1901, was first a Belgian establishment for French-speaking education known as Institut Rochez then it became Lycée d’Anvers. In 1919 a girl-school opened its doors in the actual buildings of the Lycée Français International under the name of Collège Marie-José.

After the reforms of Belgian education in the 1970s, it became the Lycée Français International in 2001.

Since then, the school is part of the AEFE network (Agency for French Education Abroad) and guarantees that French programs and values are respected in every Lycée Français abroad thanks to a service of inspections and regional coordination.
