The Parcours Éducatif de Santé (Health Education Path) is a health education program covering Education, Prevention, and Protection. It includes education on preventing addictive behaviours, nutrition education, promotion of physical activity, sexuality education, child protection, vaccination, and environmental health. Health professionals, psychologists, and the Vie Scolaire (School Life) team are mobilized for early detection of health issues that could affect schooling and learning, to support students in their health care journeys, or for health-promotion interventions. The program emphasizes a holistic approach to student well-being from kindergarten through high school. It supports students' social, emotional, and physical development through coordinated health education.
The Dispositif d'Inclusion Linguistique (DIL) provides an enhanced French-language program for students aged 6 to 15 who do not speak French. This free program helps learners acquire vocabulary useful for other disciplines. DIL classes have a small number of students to support intensive, engaging French instruction. DIL teachers are professionals with experience in French as a foreign language (FLE), using a communicative and active, immersive approach. The program aims to facilitate students' integration into the broader curriculum.
The American International Section equips students with a deeper knowledge of English and awareness of American culture. It began in 2021 and is one of the first AEFE member schools in Latin America to offer this section. The section uses National Geographic's Our World and Santillana's MYON reading platform to foster English reading, and students aim to obtain Cambridge certificates every two years. English is taught by native or bilingual teachers at level C1 or higher, with the section enrolling students from CP (1st Grade). Students receive three hours of English in addition to the regular curriculum, with content in areas such as science and sports.
Mental wellbeing is supported through the Parcours Éducatif de Santé, which addresses health education, prevention, and protection for students from kindergarten to lycée. The program includes targeted education on addictive behaviours, nutrition, physical activity, sexuality, child protection, vaccination, and the environment. The Department of Student Counseling (DECE) provides psychological, cognitive, and emotional well-being support, mobilizing health professionals, psychologists, and the Vie Scolaire team for early identification of health or well-being concerns and for guiding students in their care pathways and health-promotion interventions. The DECE also coordinates with families and teachers to support student well-being and learning.
Safeguarding is embedded in Parcours Éducatif de Santé through child-protection topics within health education. The DECE monitors students' psychological, cognitive, and emotional well-being and carries out preventive, attentive, coordinating, mediating, follow-up, supervisory, and training roles. The DECE does not conduct in-house therapies; when difficulties are detected, external professionals are engaged to provide appropriate support. The DECE also provides guidance and resources to ensure safe, respectful school life and to protect students.
