Fees

Application / Registration fee

- The school requires an initial registration fee (first registration fee) to confirm admission. This registration fee is not refundable in the event of withdrawal.
- Early-registration discounts on the registration fee are applied when registration is completed by the published early deadline (example: registrations completed by 30 April 2025 received a discount of -25% for the first child and -40% for the second child).

Tuition fees by year group (overview and categories)

- Tuition fee amounts are set by school level and by family situation. The school operates three fee categories: Kosovar families, French families, and families whose fees are partially or fully covered by an employer. Exact tuition amounts by year group or term are not published in the public material available.
- Tuition varies by education level: nursery/kindergarten, primary (elementary), middle school, and high school. CNED-supported secondary education and the French curriculum apply at the middle and high school levels.
- Sibling discounts are applied to school fees: 2nd child -15%; 3rd child -20%; 4th child -20%. These reductions apply to school tuition (the reduction is applied to the youngest child) and do not apply to employer-funded tuition.

Per-term / per-year amounts

- Specific per-term or per-year numeric tuition figures for the 2026/27 academic year (and for 2025/26 where 2026/27 figures are not available) are not published in the publicly available admissions or services materials; therefore per-term and per-year amounts cannot be provided here. The school states that tuition rates depend on grade level and family fee category.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Admission is confirmed after payment of the first registration fee; final registration is confirmed by the school by email within seven days of that payment. The first registration fee is non-refundable on withdrawal.

Tuition billing frequency and late-payment penalties, if any, are not specified in the public materials.

Boarding fees

Refund information

- The school states explicitly that the first registration fee is not refundable in the event of withdrawal. No additional publicly stated refund policy for tuition or optional services is published in the available admissions or services materials.

- An initial, non-refundable registration fee is required to confirm a place. Early-registration discounts on that registration fee have been applied in past published enrollment cycles.

Optional services (transport, canteen, daycare, clubs) are charged separately. Specific numeric tuition amounts (per term or per year), detailed billing schedules, and published payment-method instructions are not publicly available in the school's admissions and services materials; these items are set by the school and provided directly at enrollment.
