The school has a health service with an infirmary, a school psychologist, and a school doctor. The Conseiller Principal d'Education (CPE) organizes the life of the school and coordinates the Assistants d'Education. The health service provides health education and prevention in collaboration with teachers to support students' development and address their needs. The school participates in Health and Citizenship Education (CESC) activities to promote student wellbeing. The infirmary and psychologist have published hours, and the psychologist is available on specific days; the health service is not intended to substitute for a family doctor.

In primary, families signal PPS and/or PAP to the primary leadership team for plans in place or in use. In secondary, more information can be obtained by contacting Mme Duarte (secretariat.dir.examens@lfcl.pt). The LFCL provides resources related to EBEP and Dys support to assist students with special needs.
English is taught as a language and LFCL offers English-language pathways. From 2nde, students can choose the general section, the international section (BFI) French/Portuguese/English, and the European section English/Mathematics. The BFI is the bilingual French-Portuguese-English track. DNL in English is offered for SES/Philosophie and for SVT. At the end of 3e, students take a national English placement test (ev@lang), and a language attestation is issued in terminal.
