Announcing the 23rd annual Gala: Onward & Upward: Célébrons la vie !
Let's come together for a joyful evening of celebration and fundraising.
The Lycée Français de New York is a non-profit, independent school founded in 1935 that welcomes more than 1,200 students, representing 62 nationalities, from nursery through 12th grade.
The school combines the best of French and American educational principles into a unique curriculum that inspires students to be the thinkers, innovators, and leaders of their generation.
The Gala is the most important fundraising event of the year at the Lycée, and we hope you will consider supporting the event.
Where Does the Money Go?
Gala fundraising is crucial to the Lycée and
goes towards:
Financial Aid
Financial aid provides access to a Lycée education for families who would otherwise not be able to afford it. Bringing together students from different backgrounds and communities creates a more diverse and dynamic environment for all students.
Academic Programs
At the core of the Lycée is our legacy of academic excellence. Gala funding allows teachers to create innovative course offerings that provide every student with opportunities to learn and grow.
Professional Development
Funding allows every Lycée teacher to engage in meaningful and ongoing training and coaching, helping them enhance the classroom experience for every student.
Building Maintenance and Safety
The Gala helps fund projects such as the Auditorium and Library renovations, as well as the upholding of cleaning and maintenance protocols that exceed the standards set by the NY Department of Health. Regular pooled COVID-19 testing helps ensure the safety of our students.
Athletics and Extracurricular Programs
Gala funding helps provide a wide offering of athletic, cultural, and after school programs for all levels, allowing students to participate in various activities and help nurture their talents and passions.
