Application fees
- No fixed application (registration/file-opening) fee amount is publicly published by the school. Public directory entries list overall tuition ranges but do not include a separate, published application fee figure for ISB.
Tuition fees (per year / per term / by year group)
- The school does not publish a detailed, grade-by-grade or per-term fee schedule in publicly accessible materials. Available public listings show only overall annual ranges for day pupils rather than a full breakdown by school year or by term.
- Representative annual day-pupil tuition ranges quoted in public directories (different sites report slightly different figures):
- Approximately EUR 3,380 to EUR 6,230 per year (daily tuition range reported by an international school directory).
- Approximately EUR 4,210 to EUR 5,230 per year (another directory summary).
- A broader directory entry elsewhere lists a wider EUR 1,350 to EUR 7,200 range for day pupils; this reflects differing third‑party summaries rather than a school-published, grade-specific schedule.
- No public information was found that provides tuition charged per term, or a per-year-group fee table (for example EYFS, Primary, Secondary) suitable for direct insertion into a database as discrete per-term figures.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- A written notice period of 90 days is required to withdraw a child; failure to give 90 days' written notice results in the school retaining the refundable deposit. This withdrawal notice requirement is part of the school's admissions and enrolment terms.
- There is no publicly posted, detailed billing calendar (for example exact invoice dates, term instalment dates, or penalties for late payment) available in the school's public pages.
Boarding fees
- The International School of Béarn operates as a day school in the published profiles consulted; no full‑board or weekly boarding fee schedule is published or indicated for this school. Public directory entries classify ISB as a day school rather than a boarding school.
Other costs and fees (uniform, lunches, extras)
- Uniform costs (examples from the school's online shop):
- Hooded sweatshirt: EUR 19.00 – 25.00.
- Reading bookbag: EUR 15.00.
- PE tracksuit bottoms: EUR 17.00 – 22.00.
- Dark blue leggings: EUR 12.00.
- PE T‑shirt (foundation/primary/secondary variants): EUR 5.00.
- White polo shirt short sleeve: EUR 14.00; long sleeve: EUR 16.00.
- School bag: EUR 20.00 – 25.00.
- Other uniform items (summer dress, trousers, shorts, caps) are listed on the shop with individual prices in similar low‑double‑digit euro amounts.
- Lunch: The school offers a hot lunch service provided by a local French restaurant and also permits packed lunches; no public per‑meal or per‑term lunch price is published on the lunch information page.
- Extracurricular activities and after‑school clubs are offered; no comprehensive public price list for clubs, transport or additional services was available on the public pages consulted.
Refund information
- Withdrawal policy: 90 days' written notice of intention to withdraw is required; if 90 days' notice is not given, the refundable deposit will be retained by the school. No additional, publicly posted full refund schedule (for partial terms, medical withdrawals, or pro‑rata refunds) was located in the public admissions material.
Fee payment options
- The school hosts an online Parent Portal and an online shop for uniform purchases; the shop functions as an e‑commerce checkout for uniform items. There is no public, itemised statement of all accepted payment methods for school tuition (for example explicit listing of bank transfer details, accepted card networks, or direct debit options) in the publicly accessible pages reviewed.
