Food options: Since September 2023, the cafeteria service is directly managed by the school with a team of professionals. The chef and the service coordinator work with a nutritionist to offer balanced menus tailored to the nutritional needs of each age group. In addition to the cafeteria service, the school operates two on-site outlets where students from CM2 onward can buy sandwiches, cut fruit, croissants, or pain au chocolat, all prepared in the school kitchens.
Governance and ownership: The Lycée Français Louis Pasteur is part of the AEFE network (Agency for French Education Abroad). AEFE supervises a global network of more than 600 French-education establishments in 138 countries and guarantees high-quality education aligned with the French system, including bilingual and multicultural education. The school benefits from AEFE's support for staff training and integration into the French education system. The IRF (Institut Régional de Formation) coordinates training across the AEFE network; the Lycée Français Louis Pasteur is a reference IRF training center for the Latin America North zone, which groups Latin American establishments following the Type B calendar.
