The Lycée International de Saint-Germain-en-Laye (commonly, Lycée International or L.I. ; English: International High School of Saint-Germain-en-Laye) is a French public school located in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Yvelines, in the western suburbs of Paris, France. Established in 1952 as a school for the children of international personnel working at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) in nearby Rocquencourt, the Lycée International caters to students with international and multilingual backgrounds. With a typical success rate of 99.9 to 100 percent on the French baccalauréat, the Lycée International ranks among France's top public schools and is considered to be the country's best public international school.
In 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Lycée International was ranked best high school of France by the classement national des lycées publics and 3rd best all categories mixed.
Students at the Lycée International are required to be fluent in French and one other language taught in one of the school's thirteen national sections: American, British, Danish, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish. The academic curriculum at the Lycée International supplements the standard French curriculum with additional courses in literature/language, history, and geography, taught in the language of the students' respective national sections, allowing them to pursue the option internationale du baccalauréat (OIB), the international variant of the French baccalauréat.
The school's main campus at 2 bis Rue du Fer à Cheval (48°53′44″N 2°3′40″E / 48.89556°N 2.06111°E) in Saint-Germain-en-Laye contains a preschool (maternelle), a primary school (école élémentaire), a middle school (collège), and a high school (lycée). Due to the size of the student body, some larger national sections have satellite campuses for primary and middle school grades at other local schools in the area of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. All students return to the main campus for their final three (lycée-level) years.
