Lycée Prince de Liège (LPL) is a Belgian international school in Gombe, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1] It serves Francophone Belgians and other Francophones of the ages 2–21.[2] It is a part of the Association of Belgian Schools Abroad, in French: Association des écoles à programme belge à l'étranger (AEBE).
Dutch-speaking Belgians in Kinshasa go to a separate school, Prins van Luik School.[3]
It was established in September 1966.[4] King Albert II of Belgium laid the cornerstone of the current campus, located on land purchased by the Belgian government. This campus opened in 1969.[2]
In the 1972–1973 school year, it had up to 2,500 students.[2] That number has never been reached ever after. As of 2015, the school had 894 students. In May 2018, it had 870 students.[citation needed]
