The LFIP cafeteria serves balanced and healthy meals prepared by Eurest Portugal with nutritionist oversight. Menus are analyzed and approved in the Cantina Committee, which includes representatives from LFIP management, the Eurest Portugal team, the LFIP nurse, and representatives of teachers, parents and students. Approved menus and meeting minutes are published on the LFIP site and on PRONOTE. Meals include bread, soup, a main course, a salad buffet, and a dessert (yogurt or fruit). A seasonally available fruit is provided. The salad buffet offers three simple vegetables and a mixed salad.
LFIP is governed by the Board of Administration, a three‑part assembly consisting of the school directors, the Cultural Counselor of the French Embassy in Portugal, seven employee representatives, five parent representatives, and two student representatives. The Board has deliberative authority over internal regulations, the educational project, the school calendar, and the life of the school. The LFIP operates within the AEFE network (Agency for French Education Abroad).
LFIP Porto delivers the French national curriculum to students aged 3 to 18 in an international setting. As a member of the AEFE network, its programs follow the French Ministry of Education and are recognized by the Portuguese government. The school prepares learners for the Baccalaureate, with qualifications recognized for higher education in France, Portugal, and worldwide. By graduation, students master four languages—French, Portuguese, English, and German or Spanish—while an English European Section deepens English in Life Sciences, Economics, and Social Sciences. There is a strong emphasis on Portuguese language and history, alongside a progressive approach that combines active learning, collaboration, critical thinking, and real‑world applications. LFIP offers a distinctive global network and individualized student support. Facilities include on‑site dining, a major library and documentation center (CDI), health services, and school transport.
