Dear parents,
We invite you to our General Assembly which will be held:
📅 Wednesday, September 23
🕘 9:00–10:00 AM
📍 LFI Tokyo Auditorium
→ It’s a public holiday, but students have classes that day.
The agenda for the meeting includes:
And since this public holiday gives us a little time to get together, we suggest extending the morning with a Coffee Workshop
☕ Coffee Workshop: “What events could be planned for 2026-2027?”
📅 Approximately 10:00–11:30
📍 LFI Tokyo Auditorium
From 10:00 am, we invite you to extend the morning with coffee and a snack, on the theme:
“Imagining events for families in 2026-2027”
The objective: to exchange, share experiences and collectively generate new ideas for activities or meetings, for families and their children, from kindergarten to high school.
In small groups, we will reflect on, among other things:
The exchanges will then be pooled.
And if some of these ideas inspire you to take them further, the FLT will also need people to bring them to life!
Whether a member or not, this discussion time is open to all parents.
Wednesday, September 23rd is a public holiday : take advantage of this to take the time to get together for these two highlights — to review the past school year and to think together about the one that is beginning.
Register to participate here
We hope to see many of you there.
The FLT team
I don’t know about you, but I had a wonderful holiday! Sunshine, family, friends, yoga… enough to recharge everyone’s batteries. So I’m back in great shape, and I can tell you that this year we’re really going to make things happen at FLT!
As we begin the new school year, we are delighted to welcome the new principal, Alexandre Bérenger, our school psychologist, and very soon, the new LFI Tokyo website!
We have many projects and our team is full of energy. If you would like to be part of the FLT adventure, let us know here: we always have room for volunteer parents, whether for one-off projects or longer-term commitments, with no restrictions on your language of communication.

The School Council of the Lycée Français International de Tokyo met on June 4, 2026, under the chairmanship of the Head of School (Proviseure). After verification of the quorum, members unanimously approved the agenda, the minutes of the previous School Board meeting, and the minutes of the extraordinary School Board meeting held on March 18, 2026.
The school anticipates a total enrollment of 1,626 students distributed across 64 classes, representing an increase compared to the current school year.
Several structural adjustments are planned:
These changes will have consequences for human resources:
Parent and student representatives expressed concern about the high enrollment numbers in certain high school classes, particularly in the final years. The administration indicated that class sizes remain below the recommendations of the French Ministry of Education (30 students in lower secondary and 36 in upper secondary) and are in line with AEFE recommendations (25 students in lower secondary and 30 in upper secondary). Additional support measures are planned, including small-group French instruction in Grade 11.
Discussions also addressed the advantages and disadvantages of small class sizes, particularly in relation to Parcoursup (the French higher education admissions platform), where smaller classes are not necessarily considered an advantage. It was emphasized that these class closures will not result in the elimination of teaching positions.
The Board unanimously approved several educational projects and school trips:
The administration highlighted the significant commitment of teachers in organizing these projects, and parent representatives echoed their appreciation.
It was also noted that the solidarity fund was heavily used this year. Thanks to numerous donations, no student had to withdraw from a project for financial reasons.
Adjustments to the school rules for both primary and secondary levels were presented in order to ensure compliance with AEFE requirements.
The main changes include:
These amendments had already received favorable opinions from the School Council, the Secondary School Life Representative Council (CVCL), and the Secondary School Council (CSD). They were unanimously adopted by the School Board.
The administration presented the projected staffing plan for AEFE seconded positions for 2026–2027.
Locally hired staff positions were not discussed, as they do not fall under AEFE authority. It was nevertheless noted that no locally hired teaching positions are being eliminated.
For the 2025–2026 school year, the school had 30 seconded positions allocated as follows:
However, four of these positions were not being used. As part of AEFE staffing adjustments, the following reductions have been proposed:
The various consultative bodies expressed reservations, particularly regarding teaching positions. During the advisory vote of the School Board, several abstentions and votes against were recorded, especially concerning the mathematics positions, reflecting concerns about the resources allocated to the school.
Representatives of French citizens abroad stated that these reductions were regrettable, as they represent a withdrawal of state support for its public service obligations.
The administration presented enrollment and nationality trends between 2022 and 2025.
Enrollment increased from 1,516 students in 2022–2023 to 1,571 students in 2025–2026.
The distribution of students by nationality remains stable, with approximately:
The DAIS program (Inclusive Support and Assistance Program) supported 10 students this year, requiring only one AESH (student support assistant) and one coordinating teacher. Additional individual AESH support remains the responsibility of families.
Teachers highlighted several benefits:
For 2026–2027, 16 students are expected to benefit from the program.
Parent representatives welcomed these highly positive results and the fact that all identified needs were met. They expressed a desire for greater recognition of the initiative throughout the AEFE network.
Regarding education in emotional, relational, and sexual life (EVARS), the administration recalled that:
Parent representatives stressed the importance of providing better information to families and ensuring compliance with the requirement of three annual sessions established by official guidelines.
In response to questions about the use of tools such as Projet Voltaire, the administration noted that the choice of teaching methods falls within teachers’ pedagogical autonomy and that no specific recommendation from the Ministry exists regarding this tool.
The administration indicated that no formal assessment of the new mock examination schedule has yet been conducted, but that its organization is reviewed annually with teaching teams.
Regarding the integration of newly enrolled students:
Additional discussions may be held with the CVCL to further improve welcoming procedures.
At the end of the meeting, parent representatives and representatives of French citizens abroad thanked the Head of School for her work, dedication, and the quality of dialogue maintained throughout her five-year term.
The Head of School gave a positive assessment of her tenure and expressed confidence that her successor would continue the school’s ongoing projects.
The meeting adjourned at 6:20 p.m.
At the end of each term, we prepare a short newsletter to keep you informed about the highlights of the past weeks and upcoming events.
We hope you enjoy reading it, and as always, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or comments.
We wish you an enjoyable summer break!
