French School of Seoul

The French School of Seoul (Template:Lang-fr, LFS, Template:Lang-ko) is a French international school in Seorae Village, a community in Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea.[1][2] It includes kindergarten through secondary school education,[3] which includes high school.[2]

As of 2012, 58% of the students were French, 15% were South Korean, and 27% from 23 other countries.[4]

History

The school was previously in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, but moved to Seorae Village in 1985. Park Seong-jung, the mayor of Seocho-gu as of 2009, stated that therefore a French community was established in Seorae Village because of the school.[2]
