Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The school's “Vie Scolaire” (Student Services) is organised by a Senior Education Advisor (CPE) who coordinates education assistants and oversees student supervision, behaviour follow-up and educational animation. Secondary documentation states the Vie Scolaire works with teachers to address behavioural or academic difficulties and organises leisure time and collective projects. The site lists a wide range of extracurricular activities (sports, music, theatre, arts, web radio) and student bodies (CVL, délégués éco‑responsables) that are presented as ways for pupils to engage and develop social skills. These elements are described on the LFIP secondary and contact pages.
The school's catering page states that students with severe allergies may be covered by a Projet d'Accueil Individualisé (PAI) and that a specific meal can be provided in that case. Beyond this medical accommodation, the LFIP website does not publish a dedicated page describing specialist SEN provision, the range of learning needs supported, named SEN staff or whether it operates as a specialist SEN institution. For that reason, no further public details about classroom differentiation, specialist therapists or formal SEN programmes are available on the public site.
The school publishes its language pathways: from 6ème pupils study two required modern languages (English and Chinese), may choose additional language options, and may join British or Chinese Section Internationale pathways (leading to DNBI/OIB options). These curricular arrangements show structured English teaching within the school curriculum. However, the LFIP website does not provide a distinct public description of an EAL (English-as-an-additional-language) intervention programme or named EAL specialists for learners needing targeted English support.
The LFIP secondary pages state that students work with teachers and a “psychologue conseillère d'orientation” as part of orientation and personal development activities, indicating access to counselling linked to academic and career guidance. The school's FAQ from the 2020 continuity period also records that psychological support was offered to the community during the distance‑learning phase. Contact listings include a health service (“Santé”) for families to reach the school's medical/health contacts. The website does not, however, publish a separate, detailed mental‑health policy or a public list of full‑time mental‑health staff beyond the mention above.
The LFIP website describes practical safety measures for school transport (video surveillance, particle filtration, geolocation and bus escorts) and states that campus access is by appointment with visitor badges issued at reception. The transport page also refers to a transport regulation available in the parent portal and notes that accompanying staff supervise arrival and handover of younger pupils. The public site does not, however, publish a standalone child‑protection or safeguarding policy page detailing reporting routes, designated safeguarding leads or related procedures, so those documents do not appear to be openly available on the website.
Lycée Français International Charles de Gaulle de Pékin (LFIPékin) is a French-curriculum school that is part of the AEFE network; it teaches from petite section (maternelle) through terminale and prepares students for the Diplôme National du Brevet, the French Baccalauréat and the Baccalauréat Français International (BFI). The school's website states it operates a new campus and highlights multilingual pathways, including English and Chinese international sections that can lead to the OIB. LFIPékin reports about 800 students from roughly 50 nationalities and lists five teaching languages on its homepage. The school runs regular cultural and arts events (for example the Quinzaine des Arts), offers a web radio and pupil-led bodies (CVL, délégués éco-responsables), and provides an on-site catering service. Transport information on the site describes an organised school-bus service with dedicated routes and safety features. (All items above are taken from the school website.)
