These bodies are organized as follows: the institution, the preschool and primary schools, and the secondary school.

Composed of members of the management team, teachers, and representatives of parents and students, it meets regularly to discuss developments and school decisions.
2. The School Councils (Primary and Preschool)
These councils are specific to the preschool and primary schools of LFIGP and focus on educational and organizational matters tailored to these levels. Presided over by the principals of each school, they bring together teachers, parent representatives, and other members of the educational community to address school projects, the internal regulations, and school enrollment conditions.
3. The Secondary School Council
It prepares the work of the School Council for the secondary section and plays an advisory role on key issues, such as teaching structures, the organization of school time, school trips, and the secondary school regulations.
