What Lycée Français de Lomé does

Lycée Français de Lomé (LFL) is a French international school in Lomé, Togo, delivering the full French national curriculum from Maternelle (ages 2-5) through Terminale (high school graduation). It is homologated by the French Ministry of Education and operates as a "conventionné" member of the AEFE (Agence pour l'Enseignement Français à l'Étranger), a network of more than 600 French schools worldwide that is part of the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. The school serves primarily French expatriate families and Togolese households seeking French-language education, enrolling children across more than 30 nationalities. Programs culminate in the Diplôme National du Brevet (DNB) and the French Baccalauréat, including the Baccalauréat Français International (BFI) with British English section, which the school launched with its first cohort in 2026.

LFL operates two campuses: a primary school (École primaire / Maternelle) at Quartier Administratif, Avenue Sarakawa, and a secondary school (Collège & Lycée) at Nyékonakpoè, Avenue Joseph Strauss. The school is academically supervised by the Académie de Nantes, which is part of the French Ministry of National Education, and institutionally supported by the French Embassy in Togo, Campus France Togo, and the Institut Français du Togo. The Proviseur (head of school) is Christophe LABODRE, who also serves as ordonnateur secondaire of the IRF Afrique Centrale (Institut Régional de Formation), reinforcing LFL's role as a regional AEFE hub. Extracurricular programs include basketball, theatre, music, robotics, and language competitions, and the school holds EFE3D level 2 certification for sustainable development education.

The business model is tuition-funded, with a published fee schedule administered at the school level and a scholarship (bourse scolaire) program managed through the French Embassy consular section. The school is not a commercial entity; it does not raise venture capital, is not publicly traded, and does not disclose revenue. Non-tuition revenue streams are not detailed. Distribution is direct enrollment via the school's website, supplemented by referrals through the AEFE network and the French Embassy. The technology stack is conventional: Pronote for grades and attendance, Eduka for administration, ClassDojo for classroom communication, and Hiboutheque for library management. There is no proprietary technology, no AI/ML capability, and no app, and revenue and headcount are not disclosed.
