The LFI Tokyo co-curricular program includes Études surveillées (supervised study) to support coursework, and it offers chess clubs at two levels for academic challenge. Language development is reinforced with Let's Do English for beginners/intermediates and a Kanji Club for Japanese-language learners, alongside a Saturday programming course (Programmation par blocs) to build coding skills. The school uses a Parcours de langues architecture that structures language learning from preschool through the baccalaureate to strengthen French, English and Japanese proficiency.
The ASA provides a broad arts track, including Atelier dessin (drawing), Théâtre (theatre), Multi-arts, and Ballet. Music is offered in small-group guitar and piano lessons (with sustained practice) and Solfège. Creative workshops and performances are integrated into the program, supporting expression across grades. The 2025-2026 calendar lists arts-focused activities across maternelle to secondary levels, with specific sessions such as drawing, music, and theatre scheduled during the week.
Parcours de langues delivers a language-rich framework from early years to the end of secondary, emphasizing French, English and Japanese through project work, debates, co-teaching and interdisciplinarity. Kanji Club and English-language offerings (e.g., Let's do English!) are among the language activities available after school, reflecting a multilingual and intercultural approach. The Monday–Saturday after-school programs include language-oriented activities like Kanji Club and English-language sessions to support language development.
The program offers After-School Care (Garderie), Co-curricular Activities (ASA) and a Holiday Programme (Centre Aéré), extending learning beyond classroom time in a structured, safe environment. ASA emphasizes enriching, age-appropriate programs that help students pursue passions, develop sporting, artistic and practical skills, and build friendships and confidence. ASA activities include large-group games, creative workshops, and off-site excursions, with enrolments managed through the Eduka portal.
