The Grand Lycée Franco-Libanais defines itself as a learning community guided by universal values such as tolerance, humanism, equality of opportunity, intellectual curiosity, and the promotion of critical thinking. It emphasizes wellbeing for all members and inclusion through dialogue and mutual respect between adults and students as foundations of life at the school. The educational contract explicitly aims to ensure the well‑being of everyone in the community and to foster respectful, non‑violent interactions. Dialogue and mutual trust are central to daily life and the school's approach to education. The institution stresses that respect for people, property, and the learning environment is essential to the school community.

The GLFL provides personalized support pathways to help students succeed. The Programme Personnalisé de Réussite Educative (PPRE) uses a contract among the school, parents, and students to target specific competencies and support students facing difficulties or working with high potential. The Projet d'Accueil Individualisé (PAI) supports students with health issues by enabling in‑class medical treatment and by arranging appropriate educational adjustments. The Plan d'Accompagnement Personalisé (PAP) assists students with persistent learning or cognitive challenges by adapting workloads and assessment methods. The Projet Personnalisé de Scolarisation (PPS) coordinates educational, psychological, educational, medical, and paramedical actions for students with disabilities, including the possible involvement of an Accompagnant d'un Élève (AcE) if needed.

English is taught starting in the early years (MS) and continues through Terminale. A strong English program supports students in reaching a level that enables them to pursue studies at anglophone universities. The school's language policy also supports Arabic, Spanish, and other language offerings, reflecting a multilingual approach throughout the curriculum.

The GLFL provides health support through a school nurse and, when needed, a school doctor to address student health needs. For students with chronic health conditions, the PAI allows medical treatment during school hours and may include pedagogical adjustments to support learning while managing health. Plans such as PAP and PPS help tailor education to students with learning or health difficulties, including the use of specific materials or adjusted workloads. The school also employs school psychologists and educational counselors as part of its wellbeing framework to support students and families.

The school runs a formal anti‑harassment program (pHARe) with a dedicated team, including members of leadership, teachers, school psychologists, and educational counselors, to prevent and address harassment. The pHARe cell coordinates classroom, CCC, and student life activities, and works with parents and students to handle incidents. The program also aligns with yearly awareness events and ongoing actions to promote safe, respectful school life. The internal rules affirm zero tolerance for violence or intimidation and emphasize the rights and protection of all students.
