The LFM provides a comprehensive education in full compliance with the French National Education curriculum, consistently achieving outstanding exam results. The Baccalaureate grants access to the most prestigious universities in France, Spain, and worldwide. Personalised support ensures every student builds an ambitious and coherent academic path.

With more than 140 years of history, the Lycée Français de Madrid is a prestigious institution and an essential benchmark for education in the Spanish capital. It has educated many influential figures across various fields, attesting the quality and lasting impact of its educational model.

With two campuses, the LFM features modern equipment tailored to all academic levels. Laboratories, multimedia libraries, a gymnasium, sports fields, dedicated art rooms, a theater, and wooded parklands offer a stimulating environment ideal for learning, personal growth, and a vibrant extracurricular life.

Starting in nursery school, students benefit from in-depth teaching in French, Spanish, and English, with specific linguistic pathways: International Sections, European Sections, and the International French Baccalaureate (BFI). From middle school onwards, they can add a fourth modern language, such as German or Italian, building a truly quadrilingual profile—a precious asset for their international future.

With over 70 nationalities, the LFM is a hub for intercultural dialogue and exchange. This diversity enriches daily school life, fostering open-mindedness, curiosity, and respect for differences, while preparing students to thrive in a globalised, diverse, and demanding world.

The LFM oversees the fulfillment of every child across all dimensions of their development: intellectual, emotional, social, and physical. Through attentive monitoring, adapted learning choices, and an environment that is both demanding and supportive, the school promotes academic success while nurturing self-confidence and well-being.

Our teachers and educational staff benefit from an exceptionally rich professional training plan. This plan is aligned with French National Education priorities and the specific challenges of international schooling, inciting staff to evolve in their teaching methods to meet the pedagogical and human needs of their students.

The LFM develops the students’ critical and independent thinking—the hallmarks of responsible citizenship. Faithful to the values of laicism, humanism, and respect for diversity, the school encourages openness and tolerance. Through concrete projects, students are sensitised to major contemporary issues: sustainable development, inclusion, equality, and historical memory.

The LFM maintains a constant and transparent dialogue with parents, recognising them as essential partners in academic success. Through meetings, interviews, and digital communication tools, every effort is made to establish a collaboration based on trust, listening, mutual respect, and the student’s best interests.

Whether through music, theater, visual arts, choirs, orchestras, sports activities, competitions, or clubs, the variety of our curricular and extracurricular offerings actively contributes to student development by stimulating creativity, teamwork, and personal commitment.
