LFIT Tokyo is committed to inclusion, with a mission to ensure no student is left behind, including those with diverse educational needs. The school maintains an EBEP referent and provides documents such as PAP and PPS, plus AESH conventions and an AESH liaison to support students requiring additional help. The EBEP framework includes a dedicated contact for the EBEP referent and downloadable materials such as a PAP at the elementary level and PPS planning. The institution emphasizes a caring, accompaniment-oriented climate intended to support all learners and their social-emotional development. The language curriculum explicitly references accompaniment and a climate of benevolence alongside high expectations to support student well-being and progress. Families are encouraged to engage with orientation and guidance processes as part of SEL.
LFIT Tokyo presents itself as an inclusive establishment rather than a specialist SEN institution, with a clear aim of ensuring no pupil is left behind and addressing diverse educational needs. The EBEP framework provides an EBEP referent and access to health professionals and therapists via Conventions thérapeutes and Conventions AESH, including a Livret d'accueil for AESH. A PAP is implemented at elementary level and PPS is used to tailor support for students. The school can implement a Projet d'accueil individuel (PAI) to address medical or chronic needs and coordinate accommodations accordingly. This inclusion-based approach relies on collaboration with families and external professionals rather than operating as a dedicated SEN school.
Language is central to the LFIT Tokyo curriculum, with a continuum of instruction in French, English, and Japanese from early years to the baccalaureate. The program features differentiation and reinforced language pathways to support learners with varying language backgrounds. In collège and lycée, there are two Sections Internationales: the Japanese International Section (SIJ) and the American International Section (SIA), which provide bilingual content and language-specific tracks that align with the French curriculum. These pathways enable advanced study and university opportunities in Japan, France, and globally, and they are designed to support bilingual and multilingual learners. The overall language architecture ensures continuity from primary through the baccalaureate, with DNL and project-based language learning integrated across disciplines.
Student wellbeing is a priority at LFIT Tokyo. The infirmary provides daily care and offers psychological listening and relational support, coordinated with families and teaching staff. The health program includes prevention and health education covering nutrition, sleep, physical activity, and related topics, with ongoing collaboration with medical professionals as needed. The infirmary is staffed by three qualified nurses and operates on weekdays, with contact details available for coordination with families. Plans for chronic conditions (PAI) can be established to ensure appropriate accommodations and medical oversight during the school day. The school emphasizes transparent communication with families and ongoing health and wellbeing education as part of the student experience.
Safeguarding and safety are embedded in LFIT Tokyo's daily operations. The school maintains a dedicated security team responsible for prevention and crisis response to protect people and property. A site-specific security protocol for Takinogawa was updated in 2021, and regular drills and age-appropriate safety guidance are conducted to foster a culture of safety. Families are kept informed via the Eduka portal and the school's X security account, and official instructions during alerts should be followed. For questions, families should contact the School Reception to be directed to the appropriate contact. The safeguarding framework emphasizes preparedness, clear information flow, and coordination with school leadership and external partners when needed.
