History
The school was established in 1972. Its initial location was a residence in the Corniche area.[1] Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan had donated the land for the first location.[2]
Its current campus, which replaced the former one, opened in 1980.[1] Jean-Claude Guisset, the ambassador of France to the UAE, facilitated a land swap which allowed for the new campus.[2]
In 1981, the enrollment was 650. 20% of the students had backgrounds of languages other than French.[2]
At some point the school began to admit non-French nationals, and it also established gender segregation as well as Arabic classes for senior high/sixth form students; some parents complained about the requirements to take Arabic classes. In 1982, there was a dispute between the French and UAE over the UAE legal system causing the dissolution of the parents' association.[2]
In 2019 it had 1,760 students. That year, a 300,000-square-metre (3,200,000 sq ft) addition was built.[1]
