Our son has attended Lycée in Sausalito the last two years. Our family is not French speaking so we are amazed at his progression in both English and French. He loves his classmates and teachers and is excited to attend each and every day. The teachers are all very committed to the students and spend countless hours setting up above and beyond activities like regular baking activities, gardening, field trips and STEAM fairs! You should really check this school out if you have an interest in raising a bilingual child (even if you yourself aren't bilingual!)
The school has good and bad aspects but I mostly remember the constant stress from juggling two education systems, some teachers were not properly preparing us for the Bac. Students did not help the scenario, they were extremely competitive which caused severe divides and issues between students who scored well and those who did average. The administration knew about this and only staged one intervention in the 5 years that the toxic environment had grown.
In the end, the educational value is good, but the students end up burnt out. In order to have a better experience, I recommend making friends outside of the school, whether that be through a job or extra-curricular not affiliated with the school.

Our two children have been at the Lycee since nursery school (Ashbury campus) and are now in middle school and high school (Ortega campus). We selected the Lycee for the following reasons: it's the "French" French school, the teachers are top notch, the curriculum is rigorous, the college acceptance list is impressive, it's affordable as compared to other private schools, the class trips are amazing (e.g., Morocco, Mexico City...), there are a huge variety of programs (e.g., technovation for girls), the campuses are homey and safe, classroom sizes are small, the administration is efficient and caring, and the community is open and vibrant. Our children are perfectly bilingual (and becoming trilingual), have close friends, and are on the path to being multicultural global citizens.
