Welcome
A word from the LIFT Board Chairwoman
Bonjour,
A very warm welcome to LIFT (Lycée International de Taipei)!
LIFT was just created in 2022, behind a group of parents from the French speaking community with more than 3 years of volunteer work of preparation, as there is a strong need to address the increasing demand of the French, French-speaking and French-lovers communities, also complementary to current offer, in the meanwhile open to Taiwanese community.
LIFT is rooted by below values & beliefs:
We create a trilingual, culturally diverse learning environment. In pursuing pedagogical excellence, we respect the individual differences of each student and aim to develop the full potential of each student to become a global citizen and socially engaged change agent.
With a transparent, inclusive and participatory form of governance:
Today LIFT Board is composed of 9 members, with representatives of parents, the Head of School and French business community, to support and define the long-term development roadmap of LIFT in Taiwan. Operational management is entrusted to our passionate teaching & administration team under the leadership of the Head of School.
An affordable establishment as a non for profit organization, we don’t have private investment, all capital and operational expenditures are financed by its own revenues, mainly tuition, sponsorship & donations, any potential profit will be reinvested into LIFT development. We put the development of LIFT as the best interest.
I take this opportunity to reassure you that LIFT has obtained strong support from many important stakeholders, including BFT, Taipei City Government, Education Bureau, Liu Gong High Establishment, and many business & French communities to make our future success!
There is a Chinese saying: 十年樹木、百年樹人
It takes 10 years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to rear people.
This shows education is a long-term commitment, and continuous pursuit of excellence.
Our mission is to make our children the change agents of the future to bring a big impact to our society.
In this very meaningful journey, thank you for your support and welcome to be part of us!
