Fee details I attempted to retrieve the schoolees for Lyce9e Frane7ais International c9lite e28093 Beyrouth, but the published fee schedule on the school site is a Google Drive PDF that is not accessible without sign-in. I located the "Frais de scolarite9 25-26" file linked from the school's pages. Please upload or paste the school's fee schedule PDF or the fee table from that document so I can extract and format the full, itemised 2026/27 (or 2025/26) fee breakdown you requested. Once you provide the file or the fee details, I will produce a clear, factual fee overview covering: - Application fees - Tuition fees per year group and per term (full detail) - Billing schedule and payment terms - Boarding fees (if applicable) - Other costs (uniform, materials, extras) - Refund rules (if stated) - Accepted payment methods I could not access the detailed numbers myself because the PDF requires Google account access; supplying the document will let me complete the requested, parent-facing fee overview in the exact format you specified.
