Lycée Français Pierre Loti D'Istanbul
Lycée Français Pierre Loti d'Istanbul is an international French school located in Istanbul. It was formerly known as "''Papillon''" and later took its name from the French writer Pierre Loti, who lived in Istanbul for a period of time. The school provides education from preschool to the final year of high school. It has two campuses, one in Tarabya and the other in Beyoğlu. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, due to the earthquake risk associated with the building in Beyoğlu, the middle school and high school were relocated to Tarabya, while continuing their educational activities. The preschool and primary school, however, remained in Beyoğlu.

Education In France

It is divided into the three stages of primary education (''enseignement primaire''), secondary education (''enseignement secondaire''), and higher education (''enseignement supérieur''). Two year olds do not start primary school, they start preschool. Then, by the age of six, a child in France starts primary school and soon moves into higher and higher grade levels until they graduate. In French higher education, the following degrees are recognized by the Bologna Process (EU recognition): ''Licence'' and ''Licence Professionnelle'' (bachelor's degrees), and the comparably named ''Master'' and ''Doctorat'' degrees.
