Fee Breakdown

Fees

2026–2027 tuition and fees (amounts in USD)

Application / New-family fees
- No separate, school-wide application fee is listed in the school's published 2026–2027 tuition materials; new-family or required fundraising charges are shown under other fee headings.

Tuition — annual by year group (amounts billed per school year)
- Pre‑school: half‑day (Crèche – Petite Section): USD 13,000 per year.
- Pre‑school: full‑day (Crèche – Moyenne Section): USD 15,750 per year.
- Kindergarten (Grande Section): USD 17,250 per year.
- 1st – 5th Grades (CP – CM2): USD 18,250 per year.
- 6th – 8th Grades (6ème – 4ème): USD 20,500 per year.

Per‑term / installment detail (examples using the school's published payment schedules)
- The school requires a non‑refundable tuition installment due at enrollment (USD 2,200) for all payment options; the remaining balance is scheduled according to the chosen plan. Payment plan details and the specific installment dates follow the schedules below.

- Quarterly plan (example split after the USD 2,200 enrollment installment):
- April 1: 15% of the remaining balance.
- July 1 or 15: 42.5% of the remaining balance.
- November 1 or 15: 42.5% of the remaining balance.
- Example (6th–8th annual tuition USD 20,500): enrollment USD 2,200; April USD 2,745.00; July USD 7,777.50; November USD 7,777.50 — totals USD 20,500.

- Summer plan (example split after the USD 2,200 enrollment installment):
- April 1: 15% of the remaining balance.
- June 1: 85% of the remaining balance.
- Example (1st–5th annual tuition USD 18,250): enrollment USD 2,200; April USD 2,407.50; June USD 13,642.50 — totals USD 18,250.

- Monthly plan (example approach):
- After the USD 2,200 enrollment installment, the remaining balance is divided into equal monthly payments on the 1st or 15th, from May through April (January omitted). The exact monthly amount depends on rounding; the payment calendar is May–December and February–April. Sample monthly amount (6th–8th tuition USD 20,500): remaining balance USD 18,300 divided across 11 monthly payments ≈ USD 1,663.64 per month, following the USD 2,200 enrollment deposit.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Re‑enrollment occurs in January each year; the tuition installment (USD 2,200) due at enrollment is non‑refundable and non‑transferable. Families who withdraw after enrolling are responsible for 50% of tuition after March 31 and 100% of tuition after May 31.
- The school offers small discounts tied to payment plan choice: a USD 40 discount for the quarterly plan and a USD 360 discount for the summer plan, as shown in the payment‑plan schedule. Tuition insurance is included with the Monthly and Quarterly plans and optional on the Summer plan.

Boarding
- Boarding is not applicable; Ecole Bilingue is a day school for students ages 18 months through 8th grade.

Other costs and optional fees
- Required fundraising participation: a required fundraising contribution of USD 400 per family (includes two Soirée tickets and 100 Fête Française raffle tickets) is charged. Lunch, extended care (before/after care), after‑school ateliers, and international field trips for 6th–8th grades are not included in tuition and are billed separately.
- Extended care: a registration fee of USD 35 per child applies for extended care; daily, monthly, semester and annual packages are offered with varying prices by grade (examples and full structure are provided through the school's billing platforms). Lunch pricing is set per meal and by package; sample annual lunch costs vary by grade (example annual lunch totals shown in school materials).
- Ateliers and camp fees: ateliers and camps use separate payment platforms and have variable fees per offering; atelier pricing is released each semester. Whitney Quickpay and ACTIVE Network are used for certain program payments and carry their own processing fees.
- Uniforms and spirit items: uniform wear is required beginning in Kindergarten. Uniform items are available through Lands' End (school code provided by the school) and specialty spirit items are sold through the school boutique; uniform purchase costs are additional to tuition.
- Sibling discounts: a sibling discount is applied to younger siblings enrolled in Kindergarten and above — USD 1,000 for full‑day Pre‑school younger siblings; USD 1,200 for siblings in 1st grade and above.

Refund and withdrawal policy (fees and refunds)
- The enrollment/tution installment (USD 2,200) is explicitly non‑refundable and non‑transferable.
- If a family withdraws after enrolling: they remain responsible for 50% of the tuition after March 31 and 100% of the tuition after May 31 in the school's published schedule. Other fees (for lunch, extended care, ateliers, camps) are billed and refunded according to the specific program provider/contract rules.

Fee payment options and processing
- Tuition and major school billing are processed through the school's billing portal (Veracross). Veracross supports ACH payments (no fee) and credit‑card payments (processing fee applies). Specific processing fees listed in the school payment guide include a Veracross credit‑card fee of approximately 2.85% plus USD 0.30 per transaction; ACH payments are free. Contract fees may apply for multi‑payment plans (example contract fees for multi‑installment plans are listed in the school's payment documentation).
- Lunch and extended‑care payments use EZ School Apps (processing fees for ACH and credit card apply). Whitney Quickpay and ACTIVE Network are used for certain one‑off payments and carry separate processing fees (example: Whitney Quickpay USD 2.50 per transaction). Credit‑card payments by phone are available through the school bookkeeper or administrative office and may carry a processing fee; checks are accepted by mail to the accounting office. The school does not accept cash for routine payments.

Divisions include Maternelle (18 months–Kindergarten), Élémentaire (1st–5th), and Collège (6th–8th).

After-school programs include piano, gymnastics, ballet, tennis, cross country, swimming, soccer, and rugby. Distinctive features include the Ateliers after-school enrichment, German language offerings, and community events such as Fête Française, reflecting a bilingual, bicultural ethos.
