The Lycée Franco-Libanais Verdun, commonly known as the Lycée Verdun, is a French lycée located in the upscale Rue Verdun in Beirut, Lebanon. It was founded in 1951 by the Agence pour l'enseignement français à l'étranger, a French governmental organization which operates French lycées around the world.
The school follows both the official French curriculum of study which prepares the students to take the French general baccalauréat, and the Lebanese curriculum which prepares students for the Lebanese baccalauréat.
1999 marked the first year in which 12th grade students graduated from the school.
The ADAL association (Association Des Anciens Du Lycée Verdun) formed in 2003, reunites all the Alumni Lycée studens in gatherings at school and external recreational events to keep links between students old and new.
Lycée Graduates are admitted to the highest ranking Universities in Lebanon, Most of the students attent Universite Saint Joseph, while a second part attends LAU and a final third part attends AUB. The percentage of each is about 40% for USJ, 40% for LAU and 15% AUB(Class OF 2010 Statistics). The Other 5% are scattered mostly in France to continue studies in both Medicine and Engineering.
