Emotional education is at the heart of LFIMolière, supporting students' holistic development. Rafael Bisquerra, a professor at the University of Barcelona and president of the International Network for Emotional Education and Well-Being, defines it as a continuous educational process that promotes emotional development as an indispensable complement to cognitive development, building the essential aspects of the whole personality. Benefits include improved health and wellbeing for students and staff, a better school climate, and enhanced academic outcomes, along with reduced costs related to bullying, anxiety, and depression. LFIMolière's emotional educators (Aurélie Delaporte, Albane Rocher, Sandrine Jahan, Pauline Riou, Sophie Lemonnier) guide students across levels with regular sessions that promote emotional literacy. About eight sessions are delivered per level using videos, debates, mindfulness, presentations, role-plays, arts, movement, games, and rituals, with cross-curricular integration. LFIMolière also emphasizes staff development, with emotional education training planned for personnel starting October 2024.
LFIM's inclusive school provides quality education to all students from kindergarten to the baccalaureate, taking into account each student's individuality and their particular educational needs. We provide adaptations for children with special educational needs to help them follow the class, with plans addressing their specific characteristics. Our programs and school choices aim to offer students a calm, supportive learning environment. We support families by answering all of their questions. If you have questions about plans for students with special needs, contact Sandrine, our inclusion referent.
French and Spanish are the languages of instruction, and English is taught as a third language from age three. The LFIMolière model aims for students to master three languages and to live in a multicultural environment. The multilingual and international education model is approved by the French Ministry of Education and the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. After obtaining the baccalauréat, students can use their bac scores to access universities in Spain and may sit the Selectividad exam. From early years, students are exposed to three languages; primary instruction is mainly in French and Spanish, with English heard and taught from kindergarten, and English instruction becomes more intensive in secondary, aiming for level C1 in all three languages. LFIMolière is an official center for Cambridge English, DELF/DALF (French), and DELE (Spanish) certifications.
Emotional education supports mental wellbeing by improving health and wellbeing for students and staff, fostering a positive classroom climate, and developing social-emotional competencies. It emphasizes emotional regulation, empathy, and active listening, contributing to safer, more supportive learning environments. The program includes regular sessions across levels and is designed to cultivate resilience and social skills. LFIMolière's approach also highlights staff well-being through professional development and collaborative practice.
The child protection plan at LFIMolère aims to promote a safe environment for minors and to shield them from risks of aggression and abuse, while addressing misunderstandings, suspicions, and inappropriate actions that could affect the child and those around them. The current child protection protocol is a practical guide with guidelines for prevention and the legal steps to take in cases of suspected physical or psychological abuse. The anti-bullying protocol applies across all levels of schooling as a prevention and intervention tool to guarantee students' right to a safe educational environment. The Shared Concern Method (MPP) is used to rapidly de-escalate bullying by focusing on child protection and group dynamics rather than confrontation.
