Parent Experience

History

The Lycée Français de Varsovie is the only foreign school in Poland with a teaching tradition dating back to the interwar period, founded in 1919 by the French government to symbolize renewed Franco-Polish diplomatic ties. It opened in October 1919 under Abel Mansuy with about 70 pupils and soon welcomed Polish students as well as many Jewish students before the war. In 1932 the school became a state lycée, the board chaired by the French consul with the ambassador as president, and the program followed the French system with French as the mandatory language except for Polish language/history; in 1937 a statute created a mixed establishment under dual French- and Polish-inspection. World War II forced its closure in 1939 and many students joined the Warsaw Uprising; it reopened in 1954 as the petite école de l'ambassade. The LFV joined the AEFE network in 1990, adopted the name Lycée français René Goscinny de Varsovie in 1995, celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2019, and opened a Polish international section in 2020.
