EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur of the Grand Lycée Franco-Libanais (GLFL) in Beirut, Lebanon, circa 1930. Established in 1909 by the Mission laïque française (French lay mission) on Rue de Damas, the school was a beacon of French education in the heart of the Middle East. The Lycée Franco-Libanais, with its imposing facade and meticulously manicured grounds, was a testament to the enduring influence of French culture in Lebanon during the 1930s. The students in this image, dressed in their formal school uniforms, exude a sense of pride and discipline. The French language, the lingua franca of international diplomacy and commerce at the time, was the medium of instruction, making the school a valuable asset for students seeking a world-class education. The Lycée Franco-Libanais was one of several French schools in Beirut, which were collectively known as the "Missions Françaises Libanaises" or MFL. These schools played a significant role in shaping the intellectual and cultural landscape of Lebanon, fostering a generation of leaders who would go on to make their mark on Lebanese society and beyond. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Grand Lycée Franco-Libanais, a symbol of the enduring bond between France and Lebanon, and a testament to the transformative power of education.
