Fees

Application / Registration fees
- No fixed numeric application or initial registration fee is published in the school's publicly available financial documents for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. Enrollment formalities and any associated charges are managed through the school's economat.

Tuition fees by year group (per term and per year)
- The school's publicly available circulars and internal regulations do not list a public tuition tariff schedule (no per‑grade, per‑term or per‑year numeric tuition table is published in those documents for 2026/27 or 2025/26). Numeric tuition amounts by year group are therefore not available in the school's published materials.
- A specific, separate annual fee is collected for students who register as candidates for the French Baccalauréat preparation; that cost is described as a forfait paid to the economat but the numeric amount is not published in the available documents.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition billing is handled by the school's economat and is payable in installments or according to a payment program established with the economat; families are billed and payment schedules are set through that office.
- The school's transport service has specific billing rhythms: transport may be charged on monthly periods (examples shown for published transport periods) and transport tariffs are updated each period; the monthly transport fee is normally due at the start of each period (within the first five days).
- For the transport service the regulation indicates the transport charge for the year is treated as an annual subscription and, in some texts, the amount to be paid may be divided into three non‑extendable installments.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- No boarding (internat) program or boarding fees are described in the school's published regulations and circulars. The school operates as a day school in the published materials.

Other costs and fees (uniform, transport, exams, publications, books, insurance, etc.)
- Uniforms: A standard school uniform is required; the school indicates efforts to keep uniform prices reasonable but specific uniform item prices are not published in the available circulars. Parents are expected to obtain required uniform items.
- Transport: Two versions of transport tariffs appear in published circulars (examples from past circulars):
- Published monthly USD‑based example (period example): Zone 1 — USD 40 (round trip) / USD 30 (one way); Zone 2 — USD 50 / USD 40; Zone 3 — USD 60 / USD 45.
- Published monthly LBP‑based example (period example): Zone 1 — 1,300,000 LBP (round trip) / 975,000 LBP (one way); Zone 2 — 1,650,000 LBP / 1,250,000 LBP; Zone 3 — 2,000,000 LBP / 1,500,000 LBP. Transport tariffs are periodically updated and communicated to families.
- Books / replacements: Lost or irreparably damaged library or textbook items must be replaced or the parent must pay the equivalent price.
- Publications and school activities: Occasional publications, yearbooks, outings, exams or special activities may carry separate fees; where an exam‑registration or preparation fee is applicable (for example for external exam preparation) the charge is collected by the economat as a yearly forfait. Numeric amounts for these items are not published in the available materials.
- Insurance/medical: The school maintains a school insurance arrangement that provides coverage for certain accidents and medical costs; the terms and scope of that coverage are described but the specific premium or whether it is included in tuition is not itemized in the published regulation.

Refund information
- There is no explicit, published tuition refund clause (a numeric refund policy or clear refund schedule for tuition or other fees) in the school's published regulations and circulars available for review. For transport, the transport regulation and circulars indicate annual registration and payment conditions but do not publish a general refund policy in the available documents.

Fee payment options (credit card, bank transfer, cash, cheque, online payment)
- The published regulations indicate that all formalities and transactions related to fees are processed through the economat, but the publicly available documents do not list the accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, cash, cheque or specific online payment systems). Specific accepted payment channels are therefore not published in the available materials.

Summary of findings and gaps discovered
- Published school documents reviewed provide clear rules about how fees are administered (payments handled by the economat; payment by installments; transport billed by zone and period) and give concrete historical transport tariff examples, but do not publish a numeric tuition schedule by year group or per term for 2026/27 (nor an explicit application/registration fee amount, refund schedule, or the list of accepted payment methods) in the accessible circulars and internal regulations. The transport tariff examples and the financial administration rules cited above are the principal fee figures available in the school's published documents.
