It has two campuses, the primary school, within the former primary school building of Tafelberg Remedial School in Sea Point,[2] and the Lycée Français du Cap, which includes senior high school, in Gardens.[3]
The school was initiated in 1985 by a group of French citizens resident in Cape Town so as to provide a French Curriculum to their children, it was established in 1987 after securing a location.[4] The Sea Point campus opened in 2014 after it received an 18 million South African rand renovation.[2]
