The French School of Shanghai (French: Lycée Français de Shanghai, LFS) is a French school for children of foreign personnel located in Shanghai, China, with grades preschool to high school (ages 3 to 18). Founded in 1996 under the name École Française de Shanghai (EFS), it is currently affiliated with the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE) as a contracted school (conventionné).[1][2]
The school is governed by the Association des Parents d'Élèves du Lycée Français de Shanghai.[3]
History
Formerly the École Française de Shanghai,[4] it was established in 1996 as an elementary through high school in Changning District, adjacent to the Xijiao State Guest Hotel. The initial enrollment was 13. The German School Shanghai and LFS began collaborating and having a common campus circa 1997, and around that same time the school began its relationship with the AEFE. The Qingpu campus opened in 2005, and the Yangpu campus opened in 2019.[5]
Formerly there was a Pudong campus, on the property of the Shanghai Gold Apple Bilingual School.[6][7] The Yangpu campus replaced the Pudong campus.[8]
The school became a testing center for Cambridge examinations in 2017.[8]
Circa 2013,[9] there was an atmosphere of paranoia among teachers after an American teacher was accused of assaulting minors; he was convicted in Chinese courts and began appealing this conviction. In the atmosphere male teachers were worried of being accused, with some resigning their positions. As of 2021[update] the American jailed in China still states he is innocent, and U.S. federal authorities did not attempt to prosecute him in the United States.[10]

If, as McMahon's defense argued, [...] the male teachers were afraid for their own jobs and safety," said the current member of staff at the Lycée Français.
