Preamble
The www.li-alumni.org website is a tool developed by the Association des Anciens du Lycée International (A.A.L.I.S.G.) to facilitate continued relationships between the alumni, the faculty and the friends of the Lycée International de Saint-Germain-en-Laye. It provides a forum for exchange between all members. Thanks to its database of former students and international section members, it provides support to current students of the Lycée International by allowing them to network with former students who have a background similar to the one they wish to achieve.
The tool which has been developed also offers geo-localization of its members in different countries. The objective was to facilitate the expansion of the alumni network and ultimately, to create, regional groups of alumni of the Lycée International across the world.
