Wellbeing & Safety
Pupil well-being and benevolence are described as central to LIFT's educational project. The curriculum promotes a climate of safety and respect through regular civic education, class and student councils, and philosophical discussions focused on empathy, self-regulation, and conflict resolution. Activities in sports, arts, and culture support emotional and social growth. Digital-citizenship awareness is integrated as part of the broader well-being approach.
LIFT follows a three-part safeguarding approach aligned with Education Nationale standards: (1) preventive education through civic lessons, class and student councils, and philosophical discussions; (2) effective intervention via a protective staff committee; and (3) family involvement through workshops and a resources platform. Digital-citizenship awareness is included. The School Council and Students' Council provide student representation and feedback channels. LIFT's AEFE network listing confirms alignment with international safeguarding standards.
