Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles (French School of Los Angeles) is a private bilingual education school founded in 1964.

the school had more than 1,075 students, about 50%–60% of them being French citizens and the remainder Americans or coming from over 54 nations.[1]
It is composed of the following campuses:

Former campuses
In 1980 the Lycee bought the 6.2acres former Parkway School property, located in the Hollywood Riviera section of Torrance, from the Torrance Unified School District. This property became the Lycee's Torrance campus, and as of February 1990 the campus had 100 students. In November 1989, the Lycee sold the property.[2]
