LFIB (Lycee Francais International de Bangkok)

What LFIB (Lycee Francais International de Bangkok) does

LFIB (Lycée Français International de Bangkok) is a private French international school founded in 1957 in Bangkok, Thailand, operating under the AEFE (Agence pour l'Enseignement du Français à l'Étranger) network and the Fondation Française pour l'Éducation. It delivers the full French national curriculum from maternelle (kindergarten) through lycée (upper secondary), culminating in the Baccalauréat and Diplôme National du Brevet examinations. The school serves approximately 650 students representing over 40 nationalities, with primary customer segments being French expatriate families seeking educational continuity and Thai/international families attracted by the academic rigor and multilingual environment. Tuition fees are the sole disclosed revenue stream, structured as recurring annual enrollment charges published on the school's Financial Information pages, with scholarship support administered through the French Embassy in Thailand.

The school's core technology stack consists of two third-party administrative platforms: Pronote (a French-market learning management system used for grades, attendance, and parent communication) and Eduka (a parent portal for administrative functions). It does not build proprietary educational technology. Beyond the standard curriculum, LFIB operates an International British Section offering a bilingual French-British track, a specialized BIA (Brevet d'Initiation à l'Aéronautique) aeronautics certification in partnership with the French Embassy, a Languages Division covering French, English, Thai, Spanish, and FLSco (French as a Second Language), and a PROZAP Asia-Pacific extracurricular sports and cultural program. Student support services include speech therapy, school psychology, and academic assistance.

LFIB operates as a single-campus institution at 498 Soi Ramkhamhaeng 39, Wangthonglang, Bangkok, with 51-100 employees. It has no parent company, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and no disclosed revenue, consistent with its non-profit educational institution status under AEFE governance. The school reaches prospective families through its bilingual institutional website, social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X), monthly newsletters in French and English, and on-campus open days.
