PMF supports social and emotional learning through a rights-based, inclusive approach. Students can express personal difficulties to a teacher, to life-skills staff, to the administration, or to health staff, and no student is left alone in distress. The school protects students from violence, exclusion, or harassment and promotes respectful treatment among all members of the school community. Inclusion is embedded in practice through mechanisms that tailor education to individual needs, such as an Accompagnement Personnalisé integrated into the timetable. The school uses inclusion devices to ensure the education of students with special educational needs, including a Plan d'Accueil Individualisé (PAI), a Plan d'Accompagnement personnalisé (PAP), a Programme personnalisé de réussite éducative (PPRE), and a Projet personnalisé de Scolarisation (PPS) where appropriate. Protocols for EBEP and related resources support ongoing inclusion.

English instruction is a defined and ongoing component of PMF's language policy.
PMF provides mental wellbeing support through the Espace Écoute, a psychologist-led service that began in 2025. The space is available to all students from 6ème to Terminale and operates four times a week: Monday afternoon, Wednesday morning, Thursday morning, and Friday morning. Students can book appointments with the infirmières to access the service. The school also hosts wellbeing initiatives such as Le Mai du bien-être to address student health and wellbeing.
The Reglement Intérieur sets safeguarding expectations for students, including the right to education and the right to express difficulties to an appropriate adult at the school. No student should remain in distress, and the policy prohibits violence, exclusion, or harassment. The establishment provides a health service and clear safety procedures, including evacuation rules. The school health service operates on site to assist students, and health-related incidents must be reported and managed promptly.
