The Portfolio of the student is a digital record available throughout LFILM.

Arts & Creative
After-school workshops offer a balanced mix of sports, arts, and leisure.

Cultural & Language
LFILM uses a plurilingual pedagogy that blends French, Arabic, and English. Language learning is structured through the Parcours linguistique, which traces language acquisitions across several languages through a dedicated path, and includes writing and speaking projects as well as inter-language projects. The PEAC pathway connects students with arts and culture by inviting them to meet artists, visit cultural venues, and create and interpret artworks. Students develop cultural understanding and language skills through these coordinated programs.

Social & Hobbies
The after-school program includes activities such as gym gymnastics, swimming, baby gym, dance, theatre, cinema/audiovisual, radio, chess, and Lego construction. These offerings promote teamwork, creativity, and social interaction while blending physical, artistic, and leisure pursuits.

Community & Service
Parcours citoyen invites students to get involved in the school community, teaching citizenship, teamwork, representation, mutual aid, and environmental actions. It emphasizes participation in collective actions for the common good and develops critical thinking through debates, discussion, and information sharing. The aim is to foster a sense of belonging, responsibility, and service to others within the school environment.

Leadership & Professional
Parcours avenir supports students from sixth grade to terminale in making career and study decisions, exposing them to the world of work and to forums, conferences, and debates related to orientation. It helps students understand post‑baccalaureate training paths, study structures, and future opportunities. The LFILM portfolio complements this by tracking experiences and achievements across the six educational pathways, supporting leadership and professional development.

Lifestyle & Wellbeing
Parcours éducatif de Santé (PES) brings together health protection, hygiene, safety, and responsible behavior; educates students on health and safety rules; prevents addictive behaviors and violence; and raises awareness about health issues for people with illnesses or special needs and about safety measures, including food safety.
