Lycée Pierre Mendès France de Tunis

Lycée Pierre Mendès France is one of Tunisia's most important AEFE (Agence pour l'Enseignement Français à l'Étranger) institutions, serving as a flagship of French international education in the Maghreb. The school delivers the complete French national curriculum from maternelle (nursery) through terminale (Year 13), culminating in the prestigious French Baccalauréat. Located in the Mutuelleville district of Tunis — one of the city's most prestigious residential and diplomatic areas — the Lycée serves the French diplomatic community, French business families, and Tunisian families choosing French-system education. As part of the AEFE network, the school maintains complete curriculum continuity for French families relocating between international postings. The French Baccalauréat is globally recognised for university entry in France and throughout Europe, and increasingly accepted by universities in the UK, North America, and worldwide. The school's location near the French Embassy and Alliance Française makes it the natural educational hub of Tunis's French-speaking community. Strong Arabic, English, and Spanish language programmes complement the core French curriculum, reflecting Tunisia's multilingual cultural identity. Over decades of operation, this Lycée has educated generations of Tunis's French community and holds a central place in French cultural life in Tunisia.
