Meet the Principal
Dear parents,
The Lycée Condorcet de Sydney is foremost a school with a multifaceted identity: French, evidenced by the presence of a significant number of teachers in our pedagogical team and its adherence to the AEFE curriculum; and Australian, as our establishment deeply engages with its surroundings by forging strong connections with the local community.
We are delighted and proud that bilingualism is at the heart of our educational project, as it offers an incredible advantage for understanding the world, opening up to it, promoting self-understanding, and discovering others.
The LCS provides a royal path for pursuing university studies not only in France but also in the most prestigious campuses worldwide. As a member of the global AEFE network, the LCS adheres to the principles and values of academic excellence in the French tradition, delivered by 110 qualified, certified, and/or accredited teachers.
Whether you attend our upcoming open days or schedule a virtual visit, our team is here to address your questions.
See you soon in Sydney.
