Billing schedule and payment terms - Annual tuition is invoiced and paid by term with the following standard split: 40% due for the first (September–December) term, 30% due for January–March, and 30% due for April–June. Invoices are issued at the start of each term. Tuition becomes due at each term arrival. - DPI (first-registration fee) is due in advance, in a single payment, prior to the start of the school year. - Arrivals or departures during the school year: the month during which the pupil arrives or departs is charged in full on the basis of one-tenth of the annual tuition. No ordinary discount is granted for absences linked to temporary changes (e.g., short-term teacher absence, short pupil absence), although exceptional prorated remissions can be granted in specific cases (e.g., medical absence over 30 consecutive days, certain disability-related arrangements). - Non-payment consequences: the accounting officer conducts amicable reminders, then may suspend acceptance of the pupil in class and, if unpaid at the end of the term, can remove the pupil from the rolls; legal recovery and related costs are charged to the debtor. Failure of a scheduled direct-debit or other échéancier may render the entire balance immediately due.
Boarding / Internat - Boarding is not listed as a fee item in the 2026–2027 financial regulations and the school's fee decision documents for families; therefore, no boarding/pension fees are applicable.
Other costs and fees - School meals (restauration scolaire): meal plans are charged by trimester; examples of published trimester rates include (illustrative trimester-level amounts): - First-trimester example (2025–2026 communication): 1 meal/week = MAD 450; 2 meals/week = MAD 855; 3 meals/week = MAD 1,260; 4 meals/week = MAD 1,620. - Second-trimester example (2025–2026 communication): 1 meal/week = MAD 495; 2 meals/week = MAD 990; 3 meals/week = MAD 1,440; 4 meals/week = MAD 1,845. Meal payments are handled via the school's appointed catering application. - School supplies, textbooks, examination fees, uniform and transport: these items are typically additional to the annual tuition and billed or requested separately; specific amounts for textbooks, uniforms or transport are not listed in the 2026–2027 financial regulation document and are charged as appropriate (where applicable) to families. The financial regulation does state that manuals, supplies and other ancillary fees are managed as separate items and that families remain responsible for such charges when imposed.
Refunds and exceptional adjustments - DPI is not refundable. - For tuition, the regulation provides that the month started is due in case of departure; exceptional remissions may be granted in defined cases (medical absence over 30 consecutive days, pupils in situation of handicap assisted by an auxiliary, or if the pupil is not accepted for reasons related to unpaid amounts). Overpayments resulting from subsequent award of bourses (scholarships) are either refunded or credited against amounts due for the current school year.
Fee payment methods and operational details - Authorized payment methods include: cheque payable to the Agent comptable of Lycée Lyautey, card payment on site or online, direct debit (on request), cash deposit, or bank transfer to the account of the Trésor Public. Transfers in euros are valued at the official chancellerie exchange rate on the date of valorisation of the school account. In cases of payment incidents the accounting officer may require certified cheque, cash, or online card payment and may cancel a direct-debit arrangement after any rejected collection.
Administrative notes on exemptions and bourses - Where applicable, families of French pupils may apply for AEFE school-aid (bourses scolaires); awarded bourses are deducted from the tuition due and any residual family charge must be paid under the same payment terms. Exemptions for certain locally contracted staff are specified in the school's regulations.
