- Secondary: cheque, bank transfer, or online via the PayFiP platform (accessible with EduConnect). Cash payments are not permitted; direct debit is not offered.

Boarding fees (internat)

Other costs and fees

- School supplies and materials: families are responsible for purchasing standard school supplies listed by class/section for the 2025–2026 year; supply lists are issued by section and year. Costs for books, stationery and class-specific materials are to be covered by families.

- Uniform: the school requires dress that is appropriate for a school environment (a standard dress-code expectation) but no formal uniform obligation is specified in the school rules. Any required items on class supply lists should be purchased by families.

- Exam fees: the school administers certain external exam sessions (for example a DELF Prim session); registration fees for those exam sessions (example: DELF Prim registration) are charged separately (for the cited DELF session the registration fee is EUR 20 and payable by card).

Refund information

- Exams and optional activities: fees for specific exams or optional services are charged at time of registration; refundability is governed by the specific exam or activity terms (for the DELF session a registration fee of EUR 20 is charged at registration).
