Lycée Louis MassignonRabdan St

Lycée Louis Massignon is one of two French schools in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - the other being Lycée Théodore Monod. It was established in 1972 as the École des Sociétés Françaises and grew out of an initiative of the Société des Pétroles. In 1982, the school was renamed in honour of Louis Massignon, a noted French scholar of Islam. From 1992, it has been managed by the Agence pour l’Enseignement Français à l’Etranger, the agency within the French Foreign Ministry charged with overseeing French language education abroad.
