The french school of Lusaka was founded in 1980 following the initiative of french residents in Zambia with the support of the French Embassy to Zambia.
French classes were initially hosted by the Italian school until 2005, since then, the french school building is located at the Alliance Francaise.
The French school is endorsed by the AEFE, and follows the french national curriculum until high school. Thereafter, it switches over to the french national distance learning curriculum of the CNED.
