Fee payment options and procedure
- Tuition and other school fees are billed according to the school's Payment Procedure; invoices show payment deadlines. The school requires full payment of semester invoices by the invoice due date. Families who need to spread payments are advised to arrange private/independent education finance (credit) providers in advance; those providers will pay the school and families will repay the provider. Specific accepted payment methods and step‑by‑step payment instructions are contained in the school's payment procedure documentation.
Financial assistance
- French government scholarship opportunities are available for eligible French nationals registered with the Consulate; eligibility and application timing follow the Consulate's schedule. The school operates a Solidarity Fund providing discretionary financial assistance available to families who have been enrolled at the school for at least one year and who are not eligible for French government scholarships.
Summary of the most important actionable points for parents
- Expect to pay the non‑refundable enrolment application fee (AUD 250) to lodge an application and, if offered a place, the non‑refundable registration fee (AUD 1,700) within one week of the offer.
- Annual tuition is published by rate category (Rate 1, Rate 2, Rate 3) and is invoiced per semester (semester amount = annual ÷ 2). Confirm which Rate applies to your family status at enrolment.
- Plan for additional annual charges such as canteen, administrative fees, textbooks/exam deposits, uniforms and extracurricular fees. Sibling discounts apply for canteen registration.
