About this school
The Lycée Français International de Kyoto (LFIK) is a French international school accredited (homologated) by the AEFE, the French agency that oversees a network of about 580 schools in 139 countries. It is one of only two French schools in Japan, alongside the one in Tokyo, and draws families from Kyoto and across Kansai, including Osaka, Kobe, Shiga, Nara and Nagoya. Its kindergarten section recently became a Gakko Hojin (educational corporation), making families eligible for Kyoto City's preschool support.
LFIK follows the French national curriculum for students aged 3 to 17, organised in the French cycles:
- Maternelle (cycle 1)
- Elementary school (cycles 2 and 3)
- Collège (ages 11–15), leading to the diplôme national du brevet
- Lycée, preparing students for the baccalauréat
Classes average about 12 students, and the school reported 100% pass rates at both the brevet and the baccalauréat in 2025. School life includes a library and documentation centre, cultural and sports activities, an annual school-wide theme and a holiday day camp. The school is a five-minute walk from Gojo and Kiyomizu-Gojo stations, and it has a scientific partnership with the Kyoto company HORIBA.
