Start of DNL History-Geography classes
DNL (non-linguistic subject) classes started on 29 September at the LFiA!
Here are a few pictures taken in class showing the commitment of our students.
DELF certificates awarded
Well done to Alice Burniat and Judy Mustafa, 8th grade students who passed the DELF A1 exam brilliantly!
Grade 9 students visit Zarqa life centre association
Students in grade 9 visited the Zarqa Life Centre, an association whose aim is to create a healthy life for refugee women and support under-represented Jordanian women, as part of a socio-cultural and artistic experience.
A number of activities were organised, including grinding and preparing Arabic coffee and making natural soaps, followed by lunch and a traditional dance demonstration.
Gardening at Deir Ghbar primary school
Well done to all the students from TPS to CE2 who enthusiastically took part in the gardening project! They planted a variety of plants, helping to create a magnificent garden and raising their awareness of environmental protection.
Creating doodle art covers
Students from grade 6 to grade 9 had the opportunity to give free rein to their creativity by drawing the cover of their art notebook. This activity is part of their learning of doodle art, a style that allows them to explore different graphic techniques and refine their artistic expression.
Musical moments shared by our students
At each music session, our students share their talents, with one of them presenting an instrument at each session. This encourages and inspires their peers to get more involved in music. A big well done to everyone for their enthusiasm and creativity!
Well-being café for a serene separation in nursery school
On Thursday 26 September, the LFiA organised a well-being café on the theme of separation in nursery school. The event gave parents the chance to take part in interactive workshops.
It was an opportunity for parents to ask questions and get answers to help their children through this important stage.
The workshop was led by Mrs Pavot, Director of the Primary School, Mrs Attié, head for the well-being and personal development department, and Mrs Gelgon, school teacher.
Elections for class delegates and eco-delegates at high school
Elections for class delegates and eco-delegates have taken place at high school, giving students the chance to choose their representatives for the new school year. Good luck to all the new delegates in their missions!
Where are our graduates now?

National School Sports Day
National School Sports Day is held every September. On September 18, 2024, LFiA’s Cycle 2 students, accompanied by their teachers, some parents and the entire educational community, took part in this event under the theme of celebration and universalism. The aim of this day is to encourage the practice of sport, particularly in the school context, while drawing on the essential values of sport, Olympism and Paralympism.
Giving new life to our books!
As part of Environment Month, the LFiA organised a collection of used books.
Thanks to this recycling initiative, we’re helping to preserve the planet by giving books a new life.
A big thank you to everyone who helped make this project a success!
The collection will continue until 24 October, and we look forward to seeing many of you there!
