lfi collège et lycée
The LFI offers a unique education. From primary school on, the pupils are
immersed in a multicultural and bilingual environment. Innovative and creative
teaching programmes allow the children to be educated in favourable learning
conditions. LFI follows the teaching programmes of the French Department for
National Education, while taking into account the local environment and the
pupils themselves. Mastery of the French language, the teaching language, and
its expansion are at the heart of the syllabus. Workshops for small groups in
the primary school and junior cycle allow the pupils for whom it is not their
mother tongue to make rapid progress. In the same way, the modern languages
policy emphasises English, the language of our host country. Every pupil from
the youngest up follows an individual progression. In 5e (First Year), the
pupils join the Eurocampus, run jointly with our partner St. Kilian’s. French,
German, Irish and other pupils take classes together. At the end of 3e (Third
Year), the children sit two exams, the French Diplôme National de Brevet (DNB)
and the Irish Junior Certificate. In this way LFI as a school develops European
citizenship every day and offers its pupils a real road to success. In the
classes of senior cycle, the pupils can continue an international programme with
the European Section or the International Section (Option Internationale du
Baccalauréat, OIB section américaine).
