Fees

Application / Entry fees
- New students are required to pay a one‑time droit d'entrée (entry fee) at confirmation of admission. Families previously charged this fee within the same school network are exempt.

Tuition fees (amounts per year / per term by year group)
- Specific numeric tuition amounts by year group and per term are not published on the school's publicly available admissions pages. The school identifies that families must pay annual tuition (frais de scolarité) but does not display the detailed fee table for each grade on public pages.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is structured to be paid in three installments (trois versements) each academic year. The entry fee for new students is deducted exclusively from the third installment.
- Re‑registration is conditional: the totality of the current year's school fees must be fully paid for a pupil to be re‑registered for the following year.
- For re‑registration, a specified portion of the Contribution au Fonctionnement et Développement (CFD) must be paid by a stated deadline in the re‑registration process (the site references a 70% payment requirement for the CFD by the mid‑June deadline for the 2025–2026 campaign).

Boarding fees
- No boarding program or boarding fees are listed on the school's public materials; boarding is not indicated as an offered service.

Other costs and recurring charges
- Contribution au Fonctionnement et Développement (CFD): a required contribution at registration or re‑registration. The CFD is treated separately from tuition and has specific advance and deadline conditions during re‑registration.
- Annual student accident/medical insurance is in place and renewed each October; insurance-related charges are applied to cover accidents and medical costs as specified in the school's policies.
- Charges such as uniforms, transport (school bus), extracurricular activity fees, exam fees, or material fees are not listed with fixed amounts on the public pages; such ancillary costs are referenced in general terms but specific rates are not published publicly.

Refunds and cancellation
- No publicly posted numeric refund schedule or detailed refund policy for paid fees is available on the school's public admissions and charter pages. Re‑registration conditions emphasize that outstanding sums must be cleared; specific refund rules are not displayed in the publicly available documents.

Fee payment options (methods)
- The school indicates that the choice of payment modality is made at registration or re‑registration, but public pages do not list the available payment methods (for example, bank transfer, cheque, or credit card) or their conditions.

- One‑time entry fee for new pupils (exemption if already paid within the same network).
