Social and emotional learning (SEL) is supported at the EFID through access to a school psychologist who can provide individual counseling and support for students' emotional and behavioural needs. A 2025 EFID post notes that there is a new school psychologist, and CM2 students interviewed her in English on the webradio, indicating active psychological support in the school community. An accueil class (CLA) welcomes non-French-speaking students to aid social integration and participation in class, which supports social inclusion. The school's multilingual environment—offering languages such as English, French, and Arabic—further facilitates cross-language social interaction and inclusion.
EFID publicly discloses the presence of a school psychologist to support students with learning difficulties or behavioural issues. An accueil class is available for students who do not speak French upon arrival, helping them access the curriculum and integrate into school life. The school does not publicly disclose a list of specific SEN categories or whether it is a specialist SEN institution. No additional explicit SEN provisions are described in publicly available materials.
English is part of EFID's language program, alongside French, Arabic, and Spanish, as indicated by principal communications about the school's multilingual offerings. The accueil class for non-French-speaking students provides targeted language support to facilitate English and other language acquisition as needed. A 2025 article notes that a school psychologist was interviewed in English, illustrating ongoing use of English in school activities. Spanish is listed among the languages offered at EFID.
The school provides mental wellbeing support through the presence of a school psychologist who can conduct individual sessions with students.
