The Lycée is managed by a highly qualified team, led by professionals with extensive experience in international education and school management. Its mission is to guarantee academic quality and promote educational innovation.
Welcome to the Lycée Français International de Panama, a school within the AEFE network, which brings the language, culture and values of the French School to the heart of Panama.
Choosing the French school means choosing a humanist education that gives every student the means to develop critical thinking and curiosity, and to build their own path. It also means choosing a school that is open to the world, that values cultural and linguistic diversity, and that makes interculturality a genuine asset.
At the Lycée Français International de Panama, we guide each student toward success and independence in a caring environment. Our multilingual teaching, from kindergarten through the Baccalauréat, is fully part of this openness to the world and allows our students to grow in an environment where French, Spanish and English meet every day.
The diversity of our community is a strength on which we can rely to build a school that is both deeply rooted in Panama and fully part of an international educational network, the AEFE network.
It is in this spirit that I am taking on the leadership of our school, with a clear ambition: to help the Lycée Français International de Panama grow while remaining true to what defines its identity. I hope that together we will continue to pursue a dynamic of pedagogical excellence, drawing on training, innovation and trust, while strengthening everyone's sense of belonging to our school.
Trust, because it is essential to building a strong and committed community.
Belonging, because our school must be a place of which students, staff and families are proud, and of which each person can become an ambassador.
Educational excellence, because representing French education abroad commits us to offering every student an education that is ambitious, demanding, inclusive and open to the world.
I am delighted to begin this new adventure in Panama and, together with you, to write the next chapter in the history of our school.
