Fees
Annual tuition at Lycée Français International de Reus ranges from EUR 0 for 2026/27.
Application fees - A non‑refundable droit de première inscription (first‑time registration fee) is required to confirm a reserved place; payment of this fee is obligatory at first enrolment. A reduction of EUR 250 is applied from the second sibling enrolled. Exemptions apply for returning former pupils and for new entrants coming from another establishment fully managed by the same MLF network; when a French government scholarship (bourse) is later awarded, the school will reimburse the paid first‑time registration fee.
Tuition fees by year group (amounts not published in the available tariff annex) - The school's financial regulation states that tuition (droits de scolarité) is charged annually and that the specific tariff amounts by year group are presented in an annex. The annex containing the numeric tariff schedule was not available in the public documents accessed; therefore the regulation and billing rules below are given rather than numeric tuition figures.
Billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is an annual charge due on the first day of the school year in September. For practical payment, the annual tuition is divided into ten monthly direct‑debit instalments (prélèvements automatiques) from September to June. For mid‑year enrolment or withdrawals, any month started is due (prorating follows a per‑month basis: each month begun is payable). The school publishes a calendar of monthly direct‑debit dates (example schedule: Sept. 25; Oct.–May on the 5th; June on the 20th). Late or rejected payments trigger administrative procedures and fees, and persistent non‑payment may lead to suspension of access to classes and legal recovery procedures.
Boarding and school meals - The school operates a demi‑pension (school meal program) charged as a fixed annual forfait that is calculated for the full school days and split into the same ten monthly instalments as tuition. The institution does not operate an internat (boarding) service; external pupils do not have regular access to the dining facilities except via single‑meal tickets.
Other costs and fees - Examination fees: Fees for external examinations (Baccalauréat, brevet, DELF, Cambridge, etc.) are charged and are not refundable; their amounts are fixed annually by the examining organisations and billed in the month preceding the exam. - Transport: School transport is charged as a fixed annual tariff and divided into ten monthly instalments. Changes of route or stop can change the transport tariff; medical absence exceeding 15 days can trigger a 50% reduction on transport fees upon presentation of a medical certificate. - Extracurricular activities, trips and outings: These are charged separately when applicable and billed as agreed; some activities that take place at the school are individually priced. - School supplies and textbooks: Families cover manuals and certain supplies from CP (cours préparatoire) to Terminale; the school provides materials for maternelle. An upper‑secondary student (2nde, 1ère, Terminale) is required to have a personal laptop from day one. Occasional items (photos, certain digital books) may be charged. - Sibling discounts: The school applies reductions for multiple siblings: a EUR 250 reduction on the first‑time registration fee from the second sibling, and tuition reductions for the third child and beyond (30% on the third child, 50% on the fourth child and for subsequent children). - Administrative/bank charges: A fee of EUR 10 is charged for each direct‑debit rejection; other administrative and bank charges may be added to outstanding debts.
Refund and pro rata rules - First‑time registration fees are non‑refundable in all cases except when a French government scholarship is subsequently granted (the school proceeds to reimburse the paid registration fee upon notification of the scholarship). Examination registration fees are non‑refundable. In the event of arrival or definitive departure during the school year, tuition, demi‑pension, transport and extracurricular fees are calculated pro‑rata by month and every month started is due. In specified medical cases (transport absence >15 days with certificate) partial reductions may be granted.
Fee payment options and authorization - The standard payment method for monthly instalments is automatic direct debit (SEPA prélèvement automatique) from September to June; the signed SEPA mandate authorises debits for tuition and other contracted school charges. Payment of the first‑time registration fee is made by bank transfer in a single payment. On exceptional request and with the school's agreement some payments may also be made by bank transfer. The school does not list credit‑card payment as a standard method in the published financial regulation; rejected direct‑debit transactions incur a EUR 10 administrative fee.
Summary of available fee details - The school's financial regulation details the types of fees charged and the complete billing and payment rules (first‑time registration fee, annual tuition, exam fees, demi‑pension, transport, extracurricular activities, supplies), payment calendar, SEPA direct‑debit procedure, sibling discounts and refund/prorating rules. The publicly accessible materials consulted indicate that the numeric tariff amounts by year group are published separately in an annex; those specific numeric amounts were not present in the annex available to the public documents consulted and therefore are not reported here.
