It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The school describes a small, “bienveillant” learning environment with individualised support and an emphasis on students' personal development, which it presents as central to its approach. The website states that small class size and personalised follow-up allow each child to be known and supported. EFIW runs language-integration (FLSco) sessions and an EMILE inclusion programme with partner WYIS, both of which the school says foster confidence, cultural openness and adaptation. A named FLSco teacher is listed on the staff page, indicating dedicated personnel for part of this provision. Sources: school overview and parcours éducatifs pages.
The EFIW website does not publish a clear description of provision for students with special educational needs (SEN) or list which types of SEN it can support. The site highlights individualised follow-up because of the school's small size, but it does not present a specialist SEN programme or a detailed SEN policy in its public pages. For definitive information about SEN support and eligibility, the school provides contact details for enquiries. Sources: school overview, practical information/contact pages.
EFIW states it delivers a FLSco (Français Langue de Scolarisation) programme for non‑francophone pupils from maternelle to élémentaire, taught by a specialised teacher in small groups to build the language needed to access curriculum subjects. In addition, the partnership with Wuhan Yangtze International School (WYIS) gives pupils EMILE/immersion time (about 40% of the week) including ESL classes, which the school presents as supporting English acquisition and confidence. The staff list names an FLSco teacher, confirming dedicated personnel for language support. Sources: parcours éducatifs and staff/overview pages.
The school's published materials repeatedly refer to a “bienveillant” atmosphere, personalised accompaniment and the promotion of pupils' personal fulfilment, and the FLSco programme text explicitly says it promotes pupils' school well‑being. These statements indicate the school frames language support, small group work and a close teacher–family relationship as part of its approach to students' well‑being. The website does not publicly list specific external mental‑health services or a named school counsellor. For more detail on clinical or specialist support, the school's contact details are provided. Sources: school overview and parcours éducatifs pages; contact page.
The site publishes administrative documents (e.g. “Règlement intérieur”) and a “Protocole de protection en cas de pollution” under practical information, but it does not display a separate, detailed child‑protection or safeguarding policy on its public pages. The school provides contact details for enquiries and for requesting further documentation. If you need the school's formal safeguarding policy or designated child‑protection contacts, the practical information and contact pages indicate how to request these directly.

L'École Française Internationale de Wuhan (EFIW) est un établissement homologué par le ministère de l'Éducation nationale français et membre du réseau AEFE ; elle propose un enseignement français de la maternelle au lycée sur un modèle hybride en partenariat avec la Wuhan Yangtze International School (WYIS). Les élèves passent environ 40 % de leur temps en inclusion à la WYIS pour des cours d'art, d'EPS, de musique, de technologie et d'anglais (EMILE). L'EFIW utilise aussi le CNED pour l'organisation pédagogique du collège et du lycée. L'école met en place des dispositifs linguistiques (FLSco) et un enseignement du chinois dès la moyenne section. Le site indique un effectif réduit (24 élèves) et précise que l'établissement est géré par une association de parents et dirigé par Mme Banuka Sivasubramaniam.
