The Lycée Français International Charles de Gaulle de Pékin (LFIPCDG; simplified Chinese: 北京法国国际学校; traditional Chinese: 北京法國國際學校; pinyin: Běijīng Fǎguó Guójì Xuéxiào) is a French international school in Chaoyang District, Beijing. It has primary, junior high school (collège) and sixth-form/senior high school (lycée) levels.

It was previously the Lycée Français International de Pékin (LFIP; "The International French School of Beijing" ) in French, and years earlier it was the Lycée Français de Pékin (simplified Chinese: 北京法国学校; traditional Chinese: 北京法國學校; pinyin: Běijīng Fǎguó Xuéxiào; Wade–Giles: Pei-ching Fa-kuo Hsüeh-hsiao).[1]

The school first opened in 1967.[2]

Since 10 May 2016 there is only one campus: in JingShunDongJie, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100600, China.

The campus opening ceremony was on 16 May 2016.[4]

It was designed by a French architect, Jacques Ferrier; the total budget was 23.9 million euros (231 million Hong Kong dollars), with 16.5 million for building costs as well as other funds for a 40 year lease. The building has measures to prevent effects from Beijing's air pollution.[3]

The groundbreaking ceremony for the new campus occurred on 19 October 2014. It has room for 1,500 students;[5] this is an increase by 30% from the total capacity of the previous facilities.[3] The current campus has an area of 37,000 square metres (400,000 sq ft), with 21,000 square metres (230,000 sq ft) occupied by buildings.[5]
