Lycée Français Louis Pasteur de Lagos
Lycée Français Louis Pasteur de Lagos is a French international school in Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.[1] The school has both primaire and secondaire levels.
The French School of Lagos was founded in 1958 by the Association Française du Nigeria (AFN). Before the current school was built in 1987 with the help of the French Ministry of the Foreign Affairs, it has moved to several places, in Ikoyi and in Victoria Island. AFN is a non-profit organisation, an incorporated trustees association which is the corporate body of this private school. Parents are members of the association and elect parents amongst them to form the Management committee.
Through an agreement signed in 2002 with the AEFE (Agence pour l’Enseignement Français à l’Etranger- Agency for French Teaching Abroad), which is an agency of the French Ministry of the Foreign Affairs, the school is now linked with the French Authorities which give it a financial support to run. In accordance with that agreement, the school delivers French grades and diplomas giving access to post graduation studies in French Universities and in other European countries' Universities as well as North American Country (Canada Quebec).
In 1997, the French School becomes officially the “Lycee Français”. Extensions of the current building have been done in 1998 and in 2004.
The Lycée Français Louis Pasteur is composed of 3 buildings, 2 yards and 2 sports areas.
One main building of 3 stairs where we can find the classrooms, the laboratories, the CDI and the BCD (school libraries), the administration, the meeting rooms. One building where we can find the “Salle des Droits de l’Homme” which is a big hall used for all the representations (theatre, shows, big meetings…) and also for some sport competitions or trainings (gymnastic, karate, fencing...). The capacity of this hall is around 200 seats. Next to that place, there is the new canteen, where students and teachers can buy food or snacks. One building where we can find specific classrooms for the mathematics and the languages teachings, but also the office of the CPE and the “Vie Scolaire” which manage the Secondary School. An indoor sport field mainly used for basket-ball, handball, and volley-ball. An outdoor grassed field which is ideal for football or running. In 2017 a swimming pool will be built.
