Annual tuition amounts below are therefore calculated as monthly fee × 10. A three-term academic billing split is presented as Term 1 = 3 months, Term 2 = 3 months, Term 3 = 4 months (term month counts align with the school calendar). These per-term amounts are calculated from the monthly figures above.
- Maternelle (GS) – CM2: - Monthly: EUR 730. - Annual (monthly × 10): EUR 7,300. - Per term: Term 1 EUR 2,190; Term 2 EUR 2,190; Term 3 EUR 2,920.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- At registration: a deposit of EUR 550 plus payment of the annual fees (registration, administrative, pedagogical materials, spectacle participation) are required. Monthly tuition is quoted and the school's calendar shows the instructional year runs from 1 September to early July; the figures above present monthly, inferred annual, and per-term amounts accordingly. - Parents must provide a RIB (bank account details) as part of the enrollment documentation, indicating bank transfer details are used for account setup and payments. No explicit statement of acceptance of credit-card payments or other specific payment channels is published in the fee documents.
Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable. The school is a maternelle and primaire day school; no boarding fees are published.
Uniforms and additional one-off items
- The 2025/2026 fee schedules list the annual material/package fees and show optional and recurring costs (transport, activities, study) but do not list a compulsory uniform fee for that academic year. (An older fee document from a previous year referenced a clothing package; that item is not shown in the 2025/2026 fee documents.)
Refund information
- The published 2025/2026 tariff documents specify required deposits and annual fees payable at registration but do not publish a refund policy or rules for pro rata refunds within the tariff files. No explicit refund terms are listed in the fee schedules.
Fee payment options (methods stated in school documentation)
- A RIB (bank account details) must be provided at enrollment; this indicates bank transfer is a payment channel used for billing. No other individual payment channels (for example explicit credit-card acceptance) are specified in the published fee documents.
Notes on calculations included above
- Monthly tuition amounts are the figures published in the school's 2025/2026 fee documents; the annual totals and per-term totals above are calculated by multiplying the published monthly amount by ten months and by allocating months to three terms (Term 1 = 3 months; Term 2 = 3 months; Term 3 = 4 months) to align with the school calendar. These annual and per-term totals are presented to give clear per-term and per-year figures for parent planning.
