History
Éliane Dumas, a teacher at the Lycée Français de New York, established the Lyceum Kennedy French American School in 1964. Dumas established the school for French students, and the school used the New York regent standards so the students may easily move on to American schools.
A Japan-born linguist and professor named Koji Sonoda acquired the school in 1986. In 1987 the school had opened its Japanese kindergarten and elementary school program in the Ardsley campus. The school website stated that the Ardsley campus opened in 1996. The Manhattan Japanese program opened in 1997, and the Japanese junior high school program began in 2010. Lyceum Kennedy has two programs: A French-English bilingual program at both campuses, and a program for Japanese people only at the Manhattan campus. The Japanese program is called the Lyceum Kennedy Japanese School (リセ・ケネディ日本人学校 Rise Kenedi Nihonjin Gakkō).
Fifty years after its foundation, the school is one of the most respected international schools in Manhattan, offering a nurturing yet rigorous bilingual education experience to its students.
