Billing schedule and payment terms - The published fees are expressed as annual amounts; families may be offered payment by instalments. For instalment plans, an advance/deposit is required at pre‑registration and the balance may be spread in multiple direct‑debit instalments. - When payment is chosen in instalments, the school uses a SEPA direct‑debit procedure for recurring payments; a bank transfer (virement) is used for single lump‑sum payments. Instalment schedules can include 6 or 10 payments (conditions apply for registrations received before specified deadlines). - All billing deadlines, the amount of any required deposit and the number of instalments are set in the school's financial conditions for the registration and invoicing process. Boarding / internat - No boarding‑house fees are listed; the school publishes demi‑pension (lunch) options but does not publish boarding/internat fees. Families should treat the institution as a day school with lunch service rather than a residential school. Other chargeable items and responsibilities - School trips that include at least one night's stay are charged separately and are borne by families; day outings without overnight stays are ordinarily included within the tuition package. - Optional educational equipment, workshops, certain option courses and digital‑resource rentals are charged in addition to base tuition as noted above. Refund information (applicable items) - The pre‑registration fee (EUR 120) is non‑refundable. - For certain continuing‑education or preparatory programmes run under separate contractual conditions, the school's sale/registration terms specify consumer‑protection provisions such as a statutory retraction period and cancellation rules (for example, a 14‑day retraction right and defined refund or retention rules for cancellations of preparatory courses). The published refund/retention rules for those specific programmes are programme‑specific and set out in the school's contractual conditions. Fee payment methods accepted - SEPA direct debit (prélèvement bancaire) for instalment payments. - Bank transfer (virement) for single lump‑sum payments. Notes on calculation and presentation - Per‑term amounts shown above for tuition are calculated by dividing the annual published tuition by three; this is an arithmetical conversion for database display where a term breakdown is required (annual amounts are the school's published figures).

Curriculum details	Curriculum details —	Curriculum details The Collège Sévigné offers two English–French bilingual tracks in the secondary school: Anglais bilingue, humanités, sciences, and Anglais +, humanités, sciences. Entering 6e requires prior intensive English study; a placement test assesses English, French and mathematics for new entrants. In Anglais bilingue, students use English as the language of schooling for writing and speaking, studying English-language literature, a science subject, and social studies in English with native-speaking teachers. Anglais + provides expanded English exposure and is open to all profiles; a placement test in French and mathematics determines the appropriate level. This track emphasizes English immersion — including English-language arts taught entirely in English, and integrated English-language physical education and arts — with particular attention to classical humanities and scientific culture.

Application start and tracks: The Collège Sévigné offers two 6e–3e tracks: the English bilingual Humanities, Sciences track (reserved for students who have completed bilingual primary schooling) and the English Plus track (Anglais +, Humanities, Sciences) open to all profiles. A Mandarin initiation option is available within both tracks. Admission decisions are communicated from mid-February for the bilingual track and from mid-March for the Anglais + track. 2. When to apply and dates: The dépôt des demandes d'inscription en sixième begins on October 13, 2025 for the 2026–27 year. The process follows a fixed timeline with testing and decision dates as described above. If you are applying from outside the Paris region, tests can be sent to the child's current school. 3. What to prepare: Prepare a letter of motivation from the parents (Word or PDF) plus an online questionnaire. Upload the 2024–2025 school reports (one PDF per trimester; if semestrial, upload the first semester twice) and the 2025–2026 reports as they become available. Include any other documents you wish to share. 4. Online submission and fees: Complete the online form indicating both legal guardians on all pages, print the acknowledgment, and email it to the secretariat with signatures on every page. Pay the 120€ non-refundable pre-registration fee online. Ensure the current year's reports are sent to the secretariat as they arrive. 5. Testing and accessibility: Your child will be invited to take an indicative test on one of these dates: December 3, 2025; December 10, 2025; January 14, 2026; January 28, 2026; February 4, 2026; February 11, 2026. From February 12, 2026, tests are offered more occasionally. For pupils not living in the Paris region, tests are sent to the child's current establishment. Pupils with specific needs may have their tests adapted if informed in advance. 6. Test content by track: For the bilingual track, tests cover mathematics, French, and English. For the Anglais + track, tests cover mathematics and French only. 7. Capacity and outcome: Despite a strong pool of candidates, the number of places is limited. Admission decisions are communicated following the tests, and many families choose for their child to complete the entire course at Sévigné. Inscriptions for other classes (5e, 4e, 3e, 1re, Terminale) 1. Application window and timeline: Applications for 5e, 4e, 3e, 1re and Terminale are accepted within the limits of available places, with responses provided from mid-April 2026. 2.

At the lycée level, there are four classes per year; a World path prepares students for the French international baccalaureate, and a Europe path begins in Seconde with intensified English, allowing progression to the World path in Première or continuing Europe with the Euro section and IELTS. 3. Required documents and online forms: Prepare a parents' motivation letter for all levels; for students from 3e upward, complete and upload the Mieux-vous-connaître form; provide 2024–2025 reports (one PDF per trimester) and the current year reports as they arrive; for lycée international applicants (BFI), download and have the English questionnaire completed by the student's English teacher and email it back. For 1re and Terminale, ensure the online pre-registration form is completed with the chosen options and specialties. 4. Online submission and fees: Complete the online form for the appropriate level (1re/Tale or 5e/4e/3e) indicating the legal guardians; print the receipt and email it to the secretariat with signatures on all pages. Pay the 120€ non-refundable pre-registration fee online. Send the current year's reports to the secretariat as they arrive. 5. Additional notes: The process includes a similar emphasis on document submission and online handling as for 6e, with specific forms and options for lycée international applicants and for the different tracks in collège and lycée.
Scholarships	Scholarships —	Scholarships Scholarships The Mathilde Salomon Scholarship provides aid to families and is designed to broaden access to Sévigné. Beginning in 2024, the scholarship was awarded to 5 lycée students (secondes) for all of their lycée schooling; in 2025, 5 of the 40 new secondes will be awarded the Mathilde Salomon scholarship based on project and motivation. The program aims to reach about 10% of our lycée students by 2030 and may cover all tuition for recipients; recipients also receive targeted tutoring to support their integration. Donations support this program, and there is a form for information requests.
