Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
The Parcours Educatif de Santé (PES) educates to health throughout schooling. The aim is to support student well-being physically, mentally and socially, helping each student build a balanced lifestyle with knowledge, skills and references to care for themselves and others. The PES emphasizes prevention and protection of student health, and develops responsible behaviors in daily life (nutrition, physical activity, hygiene, sleep, addictions, digital use). It accompanies well-being and mental health by encouraging listening, self-confidence and stress management. It also trains for solidarity and citizenship through health and prevention projects. PES is enacted through integrated health-education sessions across sciences, physical education and civic education, prevention workshops led by health professionals and external partners, collective campaigns and solidarity projects, and close monitoring by the school nurse in liaison with the educational team and families.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Inclusion is a core principle at LFLNI. The school collaborates with AEFE and the Mission Laïque Française to foster inclusion within the establishment. Inclusion initiatives are implemented, including hosting guests and projects to promote inclusion, such as Circé Rivillon's visit in collaboration with SESOBEL. The school aims to ensure every child is welcomed, accepted and valued. The inclusion project is integrated into the broader educational program, reflecting a clear commitment to diverse learner needs.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
The school follows a tri-lingual language program in Arabic, French and English from early years, with a fourth language, Spanish, introduced in later years. Arabic is offered as both a mother tongue track and an additional language; English occupies a central role in the curriculum, with opportunities for Cambridge certifications (Flyers in CM2, First Certificate or Cambridge Advanced English) as students advance. The language policy emphasizes multilingual competence and opening pathways for global communication. English teachers are part of the staff, ensuring regular English instruction and support. The school's multilingual approach integrates Arabic, French, English and Spanish to prepare students for a plurilingual world.

Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is central to the Parcours Educatif de Santé. The program supports mental health with activities and guidance that encourage listening, self-confidence and strategies to manage stress. Health education sessions integrated with science, physical education and civic education reinforce wellness. Prevention workshops run by health professionals and external partners complement classroom learning. The school nurse provides ongoing follow-up in collaboration with the educational team and families, ensuring individual support when needed.

Safeguarding
Safeguarding and student welfare are foundational to LFLNI. Laïcité anchors a neutral, respectful environment where every student can learn and thrive, regardless of beliefs. The Parcours Citoyen and the school's governance structures promote democracy, rights and responsibilities, and provide spaces for student voice on health, hygiene and safety. Interventions and workshops with institutional and associative partners reinforce safety and well-being. Student representatives (CVC and CVL) liaise with staff and parents to address safeguarding topics, including health, hygiene and safety.
