Boarding / Internat
- No boarding fees are listed for the school; the institution's published information describes day services (teaching, canteen, garderie, transport, activités extrascolaires) and does not present boarding as a provided service. Accordingly, boarding is not applicable and no boarding fees are charged.
Other costs and recurring charges
- Canteen: a hot meal service is organised and billed separately.
- Garderie / extended supervision: basic supervised periods are provided free of charge for short periods before and after school; additional paid garderie (extended childcare) is organised and billed as an extra service.
- Transport: school transport is organised and made available via contracted providers; transport places and circuits are established on the basis of parental requests and transport is billed separately.
- Activités extrascolaires: the ExtraClub programme (activités créatives, culturelles, sportives) is offered and participation is subject to separate fees where applicable.

- The Droit de première inscription (DPI) is explicitly non‑refundable. Annual re‑inscription fees (where charged) are explicitly non‑refundable. Other refund provisions for tuition are not detailed in the published fee material for the standard, Belgian and reduced tariff categories; DPI and re‑inscription are stated as non‑remboursable.
Fee payment options and practical note on payment
- The published material indicates that payment of required fees is completed at the final confirmation of inscription in the admissions process and that invoicing follows the schedules above. Specific payment methods (bank transfer, credit card, direct debit, etc.) are not itemised in the publicly published fee schedule; parents arrange payment using the school's administrative channels at confirmation of enrolment.

Transport and catering (day‑school ancillary costs)
- Transport: A school bus service is available; it is operated by the company RUNRUN and runs Monday to Friday. Tariffs, circuits and schedules are managed by RUNRUN and must be obtained from the transport provider. Transport is therefore an additional, separately billed service. - Catering (cantine): On‑site catering is provided four days a week and is managed by Newrest; meal service is an additional billed service though no public menu pricing is published.
Other payable items and extras
- School uniform: Wearing the school's official uniform is mandatory; the school requires marked clothing but does not publish a uniform price list on public pages.

Admissions
Admissions
1. Complete online the admission form. After you submit, you will receive an email acknowledging receipt with your EduKa platform login credentials. For families with siblings already enrolled in the network, the legal guardian must submit the admission request directly on EduKa by selecting Admission and creating a dossier for a new pupil for 2024/25. 2. Build a digital admission file containing the following documents: a) a pupil identity photo taken within the last 3 months; b) a copy of the CIN or passport of the legal guardian; c) for registrations from P1, a certificate of schooling dated within the last 3 months; d) for registrations from P2, copies of the pupil's report cards from the last two years (2023-2024 and 2022-2023); e) for pupils of Belgian nationality only, a copy of the pupil's passport or identity card. 3. Submit your admission file online on the EduKa parent portal: log in, click Admission, then Demande d'inscription, then the Justificatifs tab; upload all required documents. Besides the pupil photo, the other documents must be scanned as PDFs in A4 format; screenshots are not accepted. An acknowledgment email will be sent after validation of the dossier. 4. Complete online the Parents questionnaire. It asks about your view of the school and its mission to better understand your expectations and your alignment with the educational project. Once your admission file is validated by the admissions service, you will receive by email an invitation for the child to participate in the observation session or aptitude verification, a document to print and present on the day of the session.
Admissions
1. Initial Inquiry and School Tour Booking Parents begin the enrollment process by completing the online visit request form on the school's admissions portal to provide contact details and preferred dates. This system allows families to schedule either an in-person campus tour in Casablanca or a virtual visit if they are currently residing abroad. Parents should be aware that this step is designed to help families observe the school's environment and discuss the pedagogical project with the staff. The team uses the submitted form details to organize the subsequent steps of the registration sequence based on the child's age group.
2. Application Submission via the Registration Portal Following the initial inquiry, parents must formally submit an application through the digital portal found on the registration page of the website. During this stage, families upload the required academic records, identification documents, and student history forms. Parents must be aware that initial enrollment requires the payment of a non-refundable first-time registration fee, known as the Droits de Première Inscription (DPI). However, families enrolling multiple children receive a twenty-five percent discount on this specific fee starting from the second child onward.
3. Age-Specific Evaluations or Parental Interviews Applicants are then scheduled for age-specific evaluations or parental interviews to determine readiness and ensure appropriate class placement. For children entering Petite or Moyenne Section, parents attend an interview with the School Director, and they must note that children must be fully toilet-trained to be admitted without diapers. For older grades, primary and secondary applicants undergo confidential entrance tests assessing French language proficiency, logic, and reasoning skills. Parents should know that instructions during these sessions are given exclusively in French, making language fluency a key factor in the selection process.
4. Admissions Decision and Final Enrollment Once evaluation results are processed, the school issues an admission decision based on student performance and class capacity limits. To secure the offered seat, parents must finalize the administrative dossier and complete the required fee payments within the specified timeframe. Parents must remain aware that all school fees are billed on a term-by-term basis, meaning that any academic term commenced is fully due. Consequently, registration and tuition fees are non-refundable once a term begins, even if the student leaves the institution early.
