The European International School (EIS) was behind the creation of the Eurocampus in 1992. The Lycée Français de Manille (LFM) and the German European School Manila (GESM) are two independent schools brought together within the Eurocampus.

​

At the end of the 1980s, the French and German schools in Manila decided to establish themselves on a shared campus.

In January 1991, the French school of Manila, operating under the auspices of the French Embassy as part of the cultural agreements between France and the Philippines, held an extraordinary assembly. During this meeting, the management committee was given the authority to continue the acquisition process for the Eurocampus.

​

This project was approved by the German school in September 1991, and in October, a purchase agreement was concluded between the buyer, the newly established European Education Foundation, Inc. (EEFI), and the seller. The total acquisition cost was 50 million Philippine pesos.

​

In 1992, to secure the future of the French school in Manila, Olivier Gaussot, French Ambassador, along with Alain Chancerelle, Louis-Paul Heussaff, and Philippe Gauthier, formed the group of founding members of this remarkable Franco-German project—the first of its kind in the world—which today is the Eurocampus.

​

The EEFI is a non-profit association that owns the Eurocampus, and its board of directors consists of 10 members.

The Eurocampus is managed by the Joint Administrative Committee (JAC), the shared governing body of the two schools, composed of 10 voting members—five from LFM and five from GESM.

​

Additionally, six non-voting members attend JAC meetings: the directors of the French and German schools, two administrators from LFM and GESM, and one representative from each embassy.
