Each year, the LFM adjusts the organization of its classes based on the number of students enrolled at each level. This flexibility allows for a balanced distribution of students while complying with French National Education standards, and fosters an environment that encourages autonomy, cooperation, and differentiated learning in a calm and enriching setting tailored to each student’s needs.

Cycle 2: the cycle of fundamental learning.

​

The cycle of fundamental learning begins in CP and continues in CE1 and CE2.
Cycle 2 programs promote continuity with the nursery school by organizing the lessons into major areas of activity:

 

• French language

• mathematics

• modern languages

• physical education and sports

• artistic education

• question the world

• moral and civic education

​

Cycle 2 is a foundational stage during which the child discovers the power of thought, language, and reasoning — a period where the first intellectual habits are formed, nurturing a love of learning and the joy of understanding. Each student explores the world with enthusiasm, guided by caring yet high expectations that foster confidence and curiosity. At the Lycée Français de Manille, this cycle lays the groundwork for a calm, free, and rigorous relationship with knowledge.

Cycle 3: the consolidation cycle

 

Cycle 3 includes the classes of CM1, CM2 and 6ème, thus covering the school and collège.
The learning areas are structured around:

 

• French language

• mathematics

• modern languages

• physical education and sports

• the plastic arts

• music education

• art history

• history and geography

• science and technology

• moral and civic education

 

Cycle 3, known as the consolidation cycle, marks the transition from childhood to a more structured and reflective way of thinking. During this stage, the student refines fundamental knowledge while developing cross-disciplinary skills such as reasoning, making connections, and questioning. It is a phase where intellectual independence begins to take shape, supported by increasing academic demands and a clearer understanding of the world. At the Lycée Français de Manille, this cycle creates a harmonious bridge between primary school and middle school, valuing both academic rigor and open-mindedness.
