“As a parent of two daughters at LFIGP, I am truly delighted with their experience. The educational support is excellent, especially with the language programs that help them progress and open up to other cultures. Both of my daughters are in the EURO program, and my older daughter has just returned from Taiwan, where she participated in the Harvard MUN Congress Model. It was an exceptional experience that will stay with her forever! Indeed, the school organizes plenty of activities and trips related to what they learn in class, which makes the lessons much more interesting. Additionally, the architecture of the school is really pleasant, with large open spaces and many spots where the children can relax between classes. This creates an ideal environment for learning and feeling comfortable every day.”
