History

The first French school in Romania opened in 1920 and was closed in 1949.[3] The first "Lycée français de Bucarest" opened in 1940 and closed in 1949 due to actions from the Romanian communist authorities. A new French school for children of diplomats was permitted to open in 1956.[4] The current French school, an embassy school that was originally the École Française de Bucarest, opened in 1960. It received its current name in 1998.[3]

Construction of the current school began in January 2012 and was completed in 2013.[4]
