Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application fees
- No separate application or registration fee is listed in the school's published Student Fee Structure for the 2025–2026 academic year.

Tuition fees by year group (annual amounts; tutoring option shown separately)
- K4 & K5 (Preschool): Base tuition (instruction & supervision) USD 17,700 annually. Other mandatory charges listed below apply on top of base tuition.
- Cycle 1 (Grades 1–2): Base tuition USD 18,900 annually.
- Cycle 2 (Grades 3–4): Base tuition USD 18,900 annually.
- Cycle 3 (Grades 5–6): Base tuition USD 18,900 annually.
- Optional tutoring (French or English tutoring option where offered): USD 3,300 per student (shown as an additional item in the tutoring option version of the fee sheet).

Other mandatory charges that apply in addition to base tuition (annual amounts)
- Meals: USD 2,230 per student (same amount listed for each year group in the fee schedule).
- Student life fees: USD 1,650 (K4/K5), USD 1,725 (Cycle 1 and Cycle 2), USD 1,900 (Cycle 3) as listed.
- Parents Association contribution: USD 80 per student.
- Technology & building maintenance: USD 1,500 per student.

Total annual cost examples (combined figures shown on published fee materials)
- K4 & K5, total annual cost (base tuition plus the listed other charges): USD 23,160 annually (base tuition USD 17,700 + other charges USD 5,460).
- Cycle 1, total annual cost (base tuition plus the listed other charges): either USD 24,435 or USD 27,735 depending on whether the tutoring option (USD 3,300) is included; the published fee sheets show one version without tutoring (total USD 24,435) and a tutoring-option version with higher totals (USD 27,735).
- Cycle 2, total annual cost (base tuition plus the listed other charges): USD 24,435 (without tutoring) or USD 27,735 (with tutoring).
- Cycle 3, total annual cost (base tuition plus the listed other charges): USD 24,610 (without tutoring) or USD 27,910 (with tutoring).

Per-term fees
- The published fee documents provide annual amounts and do not supply a per-term or per-semester billing breakdown. No per-term amounts are published in the Student Fee Structure materials; a per-term figure would require the school's billing period (number of billed terms/semesters) to be specified.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The published Student Fee Structure lists annual charges and totals but does not include a detailed billing schedule, specific payment deadlines, installment options, late-payment penalties, or explicit payment terms in the fee document itself. Families should note that the fee documents show annual charge lines rather than a payment timetable.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable. The French School of Detroit operates as a day/partnered program (students attend partner local schools for immersion and the school coordinates bilingual instruction), and no boarding or residential fees are listed.

Other costs or optional fees
- Meals (annual): USD 2,230 per student.
- Student life fees (annual): USD 1,650–1,900 depending on cycle.
- Parents Association contribution (annual): USD 80.
- Technology & building maintenance (annual): USD 1,500.
- Tutoring option (annual, where selected): USD 3,300.
- No uniform fee, book fee, transportation fee, or other mandatory ancillary fees are listed on the Student Fee Structure document that presents the tuition and the other charges above.

Refund information
- The published Student Fee Structure does not include explicit refund, withdrawal, or cancellation terms in the document showing tuition and charges. The fee schedule does not state prorated refunds, deposit forfeiture, or conditions for refund.

Fee payment options (methods)
- The Student Fee Structure documents reviewed show the breakdown of charges and totals but do not enumerate accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, checks, online payment processor) or associated processing fees.

Brief summary of gaps found
- The school's published Student Fee Structure for 2025–2026 provides clear annual tuition figures, optional tutoring pricing, and the main ancillary charge lines (meals, student life fees, parents association, technology/building maintenance) with combined total annual amounts. The same materials do not publish an application/registration charge, a per-term billing breakdown, a billing schedule or payment deadlines, refund policy wording, or specific accepted payment methods. For any per-term amounts, payment-plan options, refund rules, or payment-method details you require for the external database, those items are not shown in the Student Fee Structure documents available for 2025–2026.

The French School of Detroit is a private, non-profit bilingual day school serving pre-K through high school. It follows the French Ministry of Education curriculum, with immersion in two Birmingham Public Schools to support English language development. The school is AEFE-certified from preschool through 8th grade and prepares students for the Brevet and the Epreuve anticipée de français du baccalauréat. Established in 1986, FSD operates as a US-registered 501(c)(3) organization. Younger students study on-site with immersion at Pierce and West Maple Elementary; middle and high school students attend Berkshire Middle School and Groves High School, with transportation provided by BPS. Reading, language development, and expressive communication are emphasised; daily bilingual activities use English and French. Creative Arts, health and movement, and World Discovery are integrated to build language, cultural understanding, and scientific curiosity. The program blends Francophone pedagogy with local immersion to prepare students for French and international schooling worldwide.
