Application / registration fee
- A one-time registration (inscription) fee is charged at enrolment: TND 2,800.
Tuition fees (per term and per year group)
- Maternelle (including Préparatoire): TND 2,860 per trimester — equivalent to TND 8,580 per school year (3 trimesters).
- École élémentaire (Primary): TND 3,400 per trimester — equivalent to TND 10,200 per school year (3 trimesters).
- Some ancillary tuition items and other levels (collège / lycée) are handled through the school's tuition simulator; the published trimester figures above cover the core maternelle/préparatoire and primaire rates shown in the school's fee listings.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is billed on a trimester basis for the listed levels (parents pay per trimester as shown).
- Payments are only considered effective once the school receives and validates the bank deposit/transfer or presents the payment receipt to the school cashier; proof of payment must be provided to complete the financial transaction. Non‑presentation of required payment proof within the stated deadlines may result in exclusion or cancellation of the pupil's enrolment.
- A sibling (fratrie) discount is applied from the third child: 10% discount starting with the third enrolled child.
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The International School of Carthage operates as a day school and does not list boarding services; therefore no boarding fees apply.
Other costs and fees
- School meals (cantine): TND 633 per trimester (TND 1,899 per year when billed across three trimesters).
- Electronic student access card: the school issues a nominative electronic card for campus access and canteen access; the card is mandatory for enrolled pupils and is part of school administration procedures (the card must be returned at the end of the year). Associated card costs and replacement charges are administered by the school as part of ancillary services.
- Transport: a school transport service is available as a separate, limited service; places are subject to availability and are billed separately. Parents must contact the school to reserve transport.
- Other potential additional charges: school supplies, uniforms, extracurricular activities, pedagogical outings, exam or certification fees, and optional services are invoiced separately as applicable. These ancillary fees are treated as separate charges from core tuition and cafeteria charges.
Refund information
- Fees paid (including pre‑registration and payments resulting from the fee simulator) are non‑refundable and non‑transferable in the event of withdrawal or desistment in the normal course; pre‑registration fees are definitively acquired by the establishment and will not be reimbursed. This non‑refundable policy is applied to fees paid for reserved places and related administrative processing.
Fee payment options
- Accepted payment methods: bank transfer, cash, or cheque. Bank transfer details (RIBs) and instructions are provided by the school for crediting accounts at BIAT or BH; cheque or cash payments may be made at BIAT/BH agency network and must be accompanied by the school's payment documentation as proof. Credit card payment is not listed among the standard payment methods on the school's payment instructions.
Important administrative notes (financial rules)
- The act of registration or re‑registration implies acceptance of the published tariffs and the school's financial regulations; absence of payment or failure to present the required proof of payment within the deadlines set by the school may lead to exclusion and/or the pupil's removal from the register. All fees related to places reserved via pre‑registration are considered definitive and are not refundable or transferable.
ISC is a private Tunisian school teaching in French and is an AEFE partner. It welcomes students from Petite Section through Terminale on two sites: Carthage and El Menzah. It follows the official programs of the French National Education, with instruction delivered in French. Learning cycles cover Maternelle (TPS, PS, MS, GS); École élémentaire (CP–CM2); Collège (6e–3e); and Lycée (Seconde–Terminale). The school participates in the AEFE network, offering a French curriculum within the Tunisian context. After-school activities extend learning beyond the classroom, including arts, sport, sciences and culture, with programs structured for 2025–2026 at both campuses. Arts and creative clubs, cultural and language clubs, and community- and leadership-oriented activities are available, along with outings to expose students to other cultures. Student councils (CVL for lycée and CVC for collège) foster citizenship and leadership. A distinctive feature is the dual-campus, AEFE-partner model linking Tunisian families to a French-based pathway for success.
