Lycée Français International d'Amman

LFIA has a dedicated Well-being and Personal Development Manager to oversee student wellbeing and to promote an inclusive school culture. A formal Ebep (Education for Students with Special Educational Needs) referent coordinates student support and liaises with families and staff to implement individualized plans such as PPRE, PAP, PAIs, and PPS when needed. The school provides on-site health support through an on-site nurse at both the primary and secondary levels, ensuring access to basic medical care and health-related accommodations. An extracurricular activities coordinator supports student life and helps promote social engagement through after-school activities and clubs. The school also publicly advertises the Well-being role as part of its commitment to student development and a positive school climate.

LFIA operates an inclusive School Inclusive Pôle dedicated to optimizing support for students with special educational needs (EBEP). The EBEP service covers students from the nursery to the terminale across the two campuses and provides access to individualized support structures. The school implements PPRe, PAP, PAI, and PPS through collaboration with families and teachers to address learning difficulties, health needs, and disabilities. An EBEP referent coordinates assessment and programming, organizes regular meetings with parents and professionals, and trains staff in inclusive practices. AES/AESH training and roles are part of the school's approach to supporting students with additional needs. The environment emphasizes equity and accessibility, with anti-discrimination and safeguarding policies to create an inclusive climate.

English is a compulsory language across LFIA, with 2 to 4 hours of English instruction per week depending on the class. The school offers Cambridge examination preparation for the lower secondary level and IELTS preparation for the upper secondary level. English instruction begins in the early years (English starts in KG2 in the elementary cycle), and French remains the primary language of instruction while Arabic and English are taught as additional languages. A third modern language (Spanish or German) is compulsory from the 5th grade (collège). While general English language instruction and exam preparation are described, a dedicated EAL program or EAL-specific staff are not publicly disclosed on the site.

Mental wellbeing is supported through LFIA's wellbeing infrastructure, including the Well-being and Development Personal Manager and the EBEP framework for socio-emotional support. The Well-being role includes offering socio-emotional support and organizing inclusion-focused training for staff. The EBEP referent coordinates support for students in difficulty and works with families to implement appropriate plans, contributing to a nurturing school environment. On-site nurses contribute to students' physical and health-related wellbeing across levels. The school's inclusive stance and its safeguarding commitments further reinforce a climate intended to foster student wellbeing and participation.
