The school operates as a Mission Laïque Française establishment (EPR) with an AEFE convention. French is the language of schooling, and the school follows a policy of 'Two cultures, three languages,' with students mastering French to a high level and taking DELF exams in partnership with the Alliance Ethio-Française Addis-Ababa. From early years, two language tracks are offered: English-speaking or Amharic-speaking, providing strong competence in one language while introducing the other, with 3–4 hours of language study per week continuing through the collège and lycée. In Première and Terminale, students may specialize in Langues, Littératures et Cultures Étrangères, and the program prepares for the Diplôme National du Brevet (DNB) and for the Grade 8 examination, as well as the French Baccalauréat.
