60 Years of Excellence

“Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles was founded by my parents Raymond and Esther Kabbaz, in 1964; both were teachers at the Lycée in New York for several years. At the time the state of California prohibited schools from teaching in any language other than English. My parents petitioned in Sacramento to change the code of Education. Their historic effort paved the way for the opening of Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles and for the many other multilingual schools, such Armenian, Korean, etc. that now flourish in California.

It has been a joy to grow up in this school and it has also been an honor to follow in my parents’ footsteps. We are blessed watching our students grow from preschoolers into knowledgeable, talented, and dedicated high school graduates who are motivated to go further and attend college with the determination to go out into the world and achieve greatness. Our international school remains one the most well-respected college-prep schools in Los Angeles known all over the world.”  — Clara-Lisa Kabbaz Esq. President Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles
