Our History

LFID has a legacy of welcoming students for over 60 years. Our story began with a passionate group of French expatriates starting the school for their children in a standalone house. Today, LFID stands in the heart of Lutyens’ Delhi, catering to more than 300 students from over 35 nationalities. Our vision is to prepare students to become responsible global citizens, equipped to meet tomorrow’s challenges through a successful and fulfilling life.
