The Grand Lycée Franco-Libanais (GLFL), is a French lycée in Beirut, Lebanon founded in 1909 by the Mission Laïque Française, an organization which also helped found other lycées all over the world. It was initially situated in Sodeco and later moved to Rue Beni Assaf near the French Embassy.
The institution has five buildings conceived by the famous French urbanist Ecochard, and an athletics stadium on Damascus Road: Le Stade du Chayla.
Background
As it is almost a century old, the Grand Lycée has made its way through the French mandate, independence and finally war. The conflict which began in 1975 marks the most serious crisis the Grand Lycée has ever faced. The buildings were badly damaged and due to their proximity to the Green-Line, access was never easy.
School departments include a 350 square metre library in which students can find a network of over sixteen PCs intended for educational resources, as well as 10,000 books and literary archives including newspapers, novels, and magazines.
Many cafeterias spread out through the recess grounds, including the "forn", which means "oven" in Lebanese Arabic, where students can purchase "minakeesh", the traditional Lebanese snack. They are baked on demand, and some can reach up to a meter in length.
Sports are highly regarded: there are two basketball courts, a soccer field, and the Chayla stadium. The Chayla stadium is an authentic track-and-field playground, where students can enjoy activities such as ping-pong, indoor swimming, soccer, basketball, squash and tennis.
The French Baccalaureate is prepared throughout the three sophomore years and 2005 results were quite pleasing: 97% success in all three sections (scientific, economic, and literary).
Notable alum
Samir Kassir, an outspoken and prominent anti-Syrian reporter who was assassinated in a Christian Beirut neighborhood in June 2005, was a student at the Grand Lycée in the 1960s and 1970s. Gibran Tueni, assassinated in December 2005 for the same reasons, also spent his early years at the Grand Lycée.
