Mental Wellbeing

The Proviseur states that the school's mission includes supporting each student in their well-being and personal fulfillment.

Safeguarding

In accordance with regulatory directives: safety drills involving the entire school community, including fire evacuation and evacuation for seismic risk, are conducted during the school year. Each drill is the subject of a report to continually improve practices and reflexes. In addition, an PPMS 'attentat – intrusion' drill will be conducted during the 2018-2019 school year, as is the case in every French school. To ensure everyone's safety, staff monitor the entrances and exits, and surveillance cameras supplement the system. The traffic on the capital's major roads presents a risk of accidents, so agents supervise the pedestrian crossing of Shariati Avenue. We invite families to exercise the greatest vigilance.
