LFIDD prioritizes student wellbeing and a positive school climate. It launched the pHARe safeguarding program to prevent harassment and to create an inclusive, caring, and protective environment. The program includes staff training and guidance on handling harassment and promoting wellbeing. The school is committed to an inclusive, benevolent, and protective environment for all students. Parent involvement via the PundaKtiv association supports the school community and student wellbeing.
The school adapts to the needs of each child. Each primary class receives one hour per week of remedial learning activities targeting students with specific needs. In secondary, homework support is available for 6eme class, and tutoring is organized for students who need it. A team of shadow teachers (AESH) is available to assist students with disabilities or special needs.
English is taught by native English-speaking teachers. In kindergarten and elementary, 30% of school time is in English under the EMILE system; in elementary, three hours weekly are dedicated specifically to learning English. In secondary, English teaching is reinforced and provided by native speakers in skill groups. The British International Section adds six hours per week of English (four hours English Language and Literature and two hours History-Geography in English), increasing English exposure to more than 30% of secondary education. From the fifth grade, a third living language (Spanish or German) is taught, and Mandarin is available as an extracurricular option. The school also offers language certificates: DELF for French, Cambridge English Language Assessment, DELE for Spanish, and Goethe for German.
