The CDI is a central feature of the academic program, described as more than a library and integrated into the school's pedagogical project. It provides a multilingual collection (Italian, French and English) with fiction, documentaries and press, accessible in person or via the online catalogue (e-sidoc). A dedicated librarian coordinates resources and supports projects; students can borrow books with their year-end cards. The CDI also offers a computer and ONISEP orientation tools to assist with career guidance, and spaces for reading and quiet study. Hours of operation are posted for student access.
Activités périscolaires exist at Lycée Victor Hugo, as indicated on the site.
Lycée Victor Hugo in Florence is a French international day school housed in Palazzo Venturi Ginori. It serves preschool to terminale within the Mission laïque française network, and is part of AEFE. The curriculum follows the French national education system, with instruction delivered in French and an emphasis on Italian culture. From kindergarten, students study French, Italian, and English; from the fourth year a fourth language (German, Spanish, or Chinese) is added, and Latin is introduced from fifth grade. Languages are taught by native-speaking teachers, with groups organized by competence and recognized certificates (Cambridge English, CILS, DELE, etc.). In secondary, students take the DNB and the French Baccalauréat, and from seconde they may pursue EsaBac for a bi-national diploma. The school offers CHAM music, instrumental ensembles and orchestras in partnership with the Music School of Fiesole; a CDI; and a range of ateliers and exchanges to foster an international outlook.
