Inscriptions for 2008-2009 will take place online from  5th March 2008. This is the first time that the Lycée will be using this system. So be prepared for some initial teething problems. For more information visit the Lycée website.

New Site
At last, It' is now confirmed, the Lycée will be opening a new sitellite site in Fulham  in September 2008. This new school will be designed to welcome for now 300 children aged 4 to 11. As a result, 12 classes for this age group  will disappear in South Kensington  to be replaced by classes for the older ones.
