The Lycée Franco-Libanais Nahr Ibrahim, LFLNI or LNI is a prestigious French primary and secondary school located in Nahr Ibrahim, Lebanon, founded in 1992 by the Mission laïque française.[2] [3] The location of the school overlooks the "Abraham River" (Nahr Ibrahim in Arabic) on a cliff facing the sea.
The school consists of three buildings, A and B for grade 6 to grade 12 and one for grade 1 to grade 5. In 1992, a parents' committee and the Mission laïque française agreed to establish the school on a partially-built site in Al-Maayssra whose owner was planning to establish a school in building A. In 1994, high school students began attending school in the newly opened building B. In 2002, a gymnasium and sports field were added, and in 2004, a two-story science laboratory was added.
The school caters for 1,500 pupils between the ages of 3 and 18 and teaches predominantly in French, but the school teaches English, Arabic and Spanish as well.[1] Its curriculum and management are overseen by the French National Ministry of Education through the Agency for the Teaching of French Abroad (AEFE).
