The Lycée Français Louis Pasteur (Template:Lang-es) is a French international school in Bogotá, Colombia.[1] It serves the levels maternelle until lycée (senior high school).

History

The school officially opened on 15 February 1934. It initially had 35 students and had been established by francophile José de la Vega, along with some of his friends. It moved to a larger campus in 1936 and took its current name in 1943. The school bought additional land in 1947 so it could expand. It had 1,000 students in 1961, and this increased to 1,850 in 1972. Its preschool/nursery opened in 1972. In the summer of 2002 the courtyard received renovations, and in 2003 a new gymnasium opened.[2]
