Per‑term amounts and billing practice

- Tuition is stated as an annual amount. Tuition (and, for new students, the registration fee) is invoiced in September; the balance of tuition is due by September 30 each year. Families eligible for the Family rate may choose to pay by direct debit in six equal monthly installments from October 5 to March 5; the direct‑debit schedule appears on the September invoice. There is no separate published per‑term fee schedule in the Section's tuition document; billing is issued annually with the payment options noted above.

Mid‑year entry and prorated charges

- A full annual tuition amount applies when a student enters before December 31. Students entering after December 31 are billed as follows: January 1–March 1 = 70% of annual tuition; after March 1 = 50% of annual tuition.

Withdrawal and refund policy

- Application fees and registration fees are non‑refundable. Advance deposits are non‑refundable except where a student is asked to withdraw from the Section for academic reasons. Tuition fees are fully due and non‑refundable. A 10% late fee is applied to payments received after the stated due dates.

Boarding / internat

- Boarding is not available. The Section does not operate boarding facilities and does not accept students who will not be living with their parent(s) or guardian. (Therefore, boarding fees are not applicable.)

Other costs and incidental charges

- The published fee schedule for the Section sets application, registration, advance deposit, annual tuition rates, and penalties; it does not list a mandatory uniform charge or a boarding charge. Separate costs that families commonly encounter—such as public transportation passes, limited paid school‑bus services in some locations, school lunches, class trips, exam fees, or extracurricular activity costs—are arranged or billed separately and are not included in the Section's annual tuition figures. The Section notes access to campuses via the regional train and public bus network and a limited school bus service; details and any transport fares are managed through the local parent association and regional transport providers.

Payment methods and banking information

- Accepted payment methods: euro‑denominated checks drawn on a French bank account (one check per family accepted), bank wire transfer (IBAN/SWIFT), and direct debit (available for families on the Family rate who choose the six‑installment option). All transfer fees must be covered by the sender.
- Bank transfer details (use these exactly for wire transfers):
- Account name: ASALI.
- IBAN/RIB: FR76 30003 01860 00037266703 39.
- BIC/SWIFT: SOGEFRPP.
- Bank name: SOCIETE GENERALE.
Families are asked to ensure their name appears in the wire‑transfer reference.

Billing contacts and enquiries

- Questions regarding invoices or payments should be directed to the Section's Business/Accounting Office (accounting@americansection.org).

Located just outside Paris, Lycée International - American Section is a public, co-educational day school within the Lycée International de Saint-Germain-en-Laye. The American Section provides English-speaking instruction while all students follow the French national curriculum in French, creating a bilingual, bicultural environment from age 4 to 18. The campus network spans three sites—Lycée International, Collège Marcel Roby, and Ecole Schnapper—with coordinated curricula across campuses. In Upper School, students pursue the Baccalauréat Français International (BFI), introduced in 2024, which includes a dedicated English-language and literature, history/geography, and world knowledge component; 41% of the BFI score comes from section work and a capstone research presentation. About 700 American Section students benefit from dedicated English-speaking teachers and English-language content while French remains the common language for schooling. Facilities include libraries with librarians, technology devices (iPads and Chromebooks), and sports and arts spaces. The program emphasizes service, international exchange, and writer-in-residence series and events.
