LFHED has a dedicated Vie Scolaire office focused on student well-being and harmonious cohabitation. The Conseiller Principal d'Éducation (CPE) oversees the Internal Regulations and coordinates eleven education assistants. The five missions of Vie Scolaire include supervision and safety outside class hours, managing absences and lateness, enforcing the internal regulations, fostering citizenship and recreational activities, and providing personal follow-up for students. The main reception is open from 7:45 to 18:30, supporting student access to the campus. The courtyard and the large dining hall are central spaces used for meals and social interaction, and the Bibliothèque Centre Documentaire (BCD) is a library space open to all primary students for reading activities, author visits, and student exhibitions.
LFHED offers sports and physical activities through its AES program. The program includes swimming (Piscine) and tennis as listed activities. Other sports are available such as karate, fencing (Escrime), archery (Tir à l'arc), dance, gymnastics, and roller sports. Most AES activities run after school, typically from 14:40 to 16:35, with some options extending to 17:00, and there are additional after-school services like study support and childcare.
The Bibliothèque Centre Documentaire (BCD) is a primary library space open to all primary students, hosting reading animations, author visits, and student exhibitions. It houses around 12,000 works, including books, magazines in French, Greek, and English, and a library of sound recordings. The BCD has been part of the school since 1999 and was renovated in 2015.

LFHED is a bilingual French–Greek lycée in Agia Paraskevi, Athens, serving ages 3 to 18. It follows the Greek Ministry of Education curriculum with exemptions that reflect its dual orientation, preparing students for Greek higher education through panhellenic exams and for French universities via Parcoursup. The school is the only Greek establishment where French-language instruction is certified by the French state. It operates two worlds in one: a French curriculum from preschool to terminale and a Greek curriculum from Gymnasio to Lykeio, on a campus. A strong Vie Scolaire supports well-being, with a CPE and eleven education assistants, and guidance on studies in France. Facilities include a large dining hall and the Bibliothèque Centre Documentaire (BCD) with about 12,000 works. The AES after-school program provides activities in French and Greek, including sport (swimming, tennis), arts, and robotics. Erasmus+ exchanges and a Model United Nations program enrich student life for all.
