Brief summary of findings and limitation - I searched the school's published materials and the AEFE public listing for the École Française du Caucase and found no publicly posted, itemised fee schedule for the 2026/27 academic year or for 2025/26. Because those official figures are not published, specific amounts (application fee, tuition per year group and per term, canteen charges, exam fees, payment methods, refund rules, etc.) cannot be supplied here. The school's administration and finance office are the appropriate contacts to obtain definitive, current fee amounts and the billing/payment terms.

Admissions

Provide evidence of mandatory vaccinations (diphtheria, tetanus, polio) or a certificate of medical contraindication. If transferring from another school, include an attendance certificate (EXEAT) and a copy of the grades book for the previous and/or current year. 2. Enrollment is effective upon payment of the enrolment fee. The school fees are paid in three installments at the beginning of each term to the bank account of the French School of the Caucasus. Payments can be made in GEL or Euros, with international transfers available from abroad. 3. For students joining after Grade 1, parents commit to translating all listed documents into Georgian at a notary's office to register their child with the Ministry of Education; this step is compulsory and is not included in the enrolment/school fees. From Grade 2 (CE1) onwards, for students who have not previously attended a French school or who are not French nationals, a French language test is required. The language test helps assess the student's level in order to tailor their educational support and promote success within the School. 4.
