The LFI Tokyo is one of two French schools in Japan recognized by theFrench Ministry of National Education, alongside theLycée Français de Kyoto.

The school has been part of the network of establishments of theAgency for French Education Abroad (AEFE, according to its French name)[2] since its creation in 1990.
In May 1967, a grant from the French government lead to the creation of a new building in theGyosei School in order to teach French. In 1973, the building was bought by France, and in January 1975 became theLycée franco-japonais (日仏学園Nichifutsu Gakuen).[3] Since 1997, the student body has increased by nearly 50 students per year, leading to the relocation of some students to two other sites: the Meisho School and the Franco-Japanese Institute. At the start of the 2003 school year, the Primary students were grouped together on theFujimi site. Secondary students and their teachers moved to the campus of the former Japanese school of Ryuhoku (Taito-Ku). On 7 May 2012, the school officially changed their name from theLycée franco-japonais tolycée français international de Tokyo and moved to their new campus inTakinogawa.
The majority of the classes are taught in French.[2] The school follows the FrenchNational Curriculum and prepares students forBrevet andFrench Baccalaureate. In 2023, 97.3% of the students received the Baccalaureat diploma, 88.8% obtained honors.
