Lycée Français d'Accra

Lycée Français d'Accra Jacques Prévert is a French international school in East Legon in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.[1] It is affiliated with the Embassy of France in Accra and serves maternelle (preschool) through lycée (senior high school).

History

The Association des Parents d’Elèves ("Association of Parents of Students") established the school in 1963 to educate children of French embassy employees. It was originally on the property of the embassy's cultural service. From 1975 to June 2000, it occupied a rented property in Roman Ridge before moving to its current location.

In 2000, the school was named after the 20th-century French poet and screenwriter Jacques Prévert.[1]

A new athletic facility opened in 2016.[2]
