LFAY follows the French national curriculum, delivered from Maternelle through Lycée as part of the AEFE network. In primary and lower secondary levels, students study core subjects set by the French Ministry of Education, including French, mathematics, science, humanities, and foreign languages. At the end of Collège, students sit for the Diplôme National du Brevet (DNB), the official lower secondary qualification. In Lycée, the curriculum prepares students for the French Baccalauréat, with required subjects and specialisations determined by the national framework. The school also offers an international American section, which provides enhanced English-language instruction alongside the standard French programme. Foreign language learning includes English, German, Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, and Latin depending on year level.
