Fee Breakdown

Fees

Tuition and application fees
- Lycée Français International de la Louisiane (LFI) does not charge tuition; education is provided free of charge to enrolled students.
- There is no routine non-refundable application or registration tuition fee required for admission through the public enrollment process.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- All grade levels (Pre-K through Grade 12) are tuition-free; there are no per-term or per-year tuition charges.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Before- and after-school care: discounted full-semester plans are available at USD 900 per semester; a drop-in option is billed at USD 18 per day. Late pick-up fees apply for any student picked up after 6:00 PM. The secondary campus does not offer aftercare; certain after-school athletic programs are offered for a fee. Families are billed for selected optional services and are responsible for paying outstanding balances.
- School meal program: families must set up and prepay a MealTime account for each student. Families are responsible for monitoring MealTime balances and adding funds as needed; outstanding balances must be paid. Students with zero or negative meal balances will be served an alternative meal until the account is brought current. Contact information for MealTime support and the school meal service is provided for account or billing questions.
- Field trips, extracurricular activities and athletics: fees for field trips, athletic participation, and other optional extension activities are charged separately and billed as specified on permission forms or activity notices. Replacement costs for lost or damaged textbooks, library books, instructional supplies, and school-issued technology are charged to parents/guardians. Administrative fees apply in some disciplinary or administrative situations (for example, repeated confiscation of a cell phone carries modest administrative fees).

Boarding fees
- LFI is a day school (Pre-K–12) and does not operate a boarding program; boarding fees are not applicable.

Other costs and typical incidental fees
- Uniforms and dress code: a standardized dress code applies (LFI-branded spirit/uniform tops and appropriate bottoms are required); families are responsible for acquiring required attire where applicable. No fixed uniform charge is listed as a mandatory school fee.
- Before/aftercare and enrichment: see the semester and drop-in charges noted above (USD 900 per semester; USD 18 per drop-in day); late pickup fees apply for pickups after 6:00 PM.
- Meal service: prepaid MealTime accounts are required; free or reduced-price lunch applications are available and families are encouraged to complete the annual lunch application. Students qualifying for free/reduced meals may also request fee reductions or waivers for certain school fees.
- Athletics, clubs, and field trips: participation fees may be charged; amounts are set per activity and indicated on permission/invoice forms.
- Materials and damage replacement: parents/guardians must cover replacement costs for lost/damaged books, devices, or instructional supplies. Minor administrative fees are specified for repeated policy violations (for example, a second confiscation of a cell phone may incur a modest administrative fee).

Refund information
- There is no tuition to refund because the school provides instruction free of charge. For prepaid optional services (meal accounts, before/aftercare, extracurricular program fees), outstanding balances are the family's responsibility and the school's billing rules require accounts to be kept current; alternative meals are provided when meal account balances are zero or negative. Families receiving free or reduced lunch may request fee reductions or waivers for eligible fees. Specific refund procedures for prepaid optional services are handled according to the school's fee and billing policies.

Accepted payment channels and contact for payments
- Meal program payments and account management are handled through MealTime (families must create and fund a MealTime account for each student). For meal-account questions use the MealTime support or the school mealservice contact.
- Other optional fees (before/aftercare, athletics, field trips, replacement items) are billed by the school; families may receive invoices or notices through the family portals and school billing systems. For questions about specific payment methods or to arrange payment (e.g., electronic payment, check, or school-accepted payment options), contact the school's finance or family-portal offices as listed in the school's family resources. PowerSchool and the Family Portal are the primary family-facing systems referenced for school operations and account information.

Summary (key points for a parent)
- Tuition: USD 0 for all grades; no application or enrollment tuition fee.
- Optional paid services: before/aftercare (USD 900/semester or USD 18/day drop-in), meal program (prepaid MealTime accounts), athletics and extracurricular activity fees charged separately, replacement costs for lost/damaged materials, and modest administrative fees for certain discipline-related returns.
