- Pre-K through 8th Grade (full-year, full-day program): Tuition USD 50,500 per year.

- Pre-Nursery and Nursery: USD 23,250 per installment.
- Pre-K to 8th Grade: USD 25,250 per installment.

- Nine monthly installments (payments due monthly via FACTS):
- Pre-Nursery and Nursery: gross installment ≈ USD 5,166.67 per month (9 payments). Note: the USD 5,500 deposit is deducted from the overall tuition when calculating the balance due.
- Pre-K to 8th Grade: gross installment ≈ USD 5,611.11 per month (9 payments). Note: the USD 5,500 deposit is deducted from the overall tuition when calculating the balance due.

- Payment in full (single payment) – early payment discount:
- A USD 500 reduction in tuition is applied when full payment is made by the early deadline. Example amounts before deposit consideration:
- Pre-Nursery and Nursery: USD 46,000 if paid in full by the early payment deadline.
- Pre-K to 8th Grade: USD 50,000 if paid in full by the early payment deadline.
- The USD 500 reduction is not available to recipients of financial assistance and does not apply when an employer is responsible for payment.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Enrollment window referenced for the schedule: enrollment before April 30 (for the 2026–2027 schedule shown). The tuition-deposit is required at the time of enrollment or re-enrollment.
- Payment-in-full option: single electronic payment due before the early-payment deadline (May 1). A USD 500 discount applies when paid by that date (subject to the exceptions above).
- Two-installment option: first installment due before May 1; second installment due before October 1. Each installment equals 50% of the total amount due.
- Nine-month plan via FACTS: payments due on the 1st of each month, beginning April 1 and ending December 1 (nine payments).
- Mid-year arrivals: prorated tuition rules apply and must be paid in full before the student's start date:
- Students beginning between December 15 and April 1: prorated tuition = two-thirds (2/3) of the full-year tuition, in addition to the one-time enrollment and application fees. Examples: Pre-Nursery & Nursery 2/3 = USD 31,000; Pre-K–8 2/3 ≈ USD 33,667.
- Students beginning after April 1: prorated tuition = one-third (1/3) of the full-year tuition, in addition to the one-time enrollment and application fees. Examples: Pre-Nursery & Nursery 1/3 = USD 15,500; Pre-K–8 1/3 ≈ USD 16,833.

Boarding fees

- The École operates as an independent day school for Maternelle through Middle School in New York City; no boarding program or boarding fees are listed.

Other costs and optional fees

- Lunch program: The school's hot lunch program is provided by Little Green Gourmets; participation and pricing for hot lunch are arranged directly with that provider. Lunch program fees are not included in the standard tuition figures above.
- Uniforms: All uniform items must be purchased from the school's designated retailer, Untold Horizons; a Uniform Guide is provided by the school. Uniform purchase costs are separate from tuition.
- After-school activities, overnight field trips, and Camp activities: these are additional to the tuition and invoiced separately; some families may opt into a bundled “Global Tuition” that can include some of these options. Specific prices for after-school classes, trips, and camps are itemized separately from core tuition.
- Transportation, specialty programs, supplies, or optional services where applicable may incur additional charges; these are not included in the base tuition figures above.

Refund information

- The USD 5,500 tuition deposit is explicitly stated as non-refundable and will be deducted from the overall tuition. No other explicit refund policy for withdrawals or mid-year departures is provided in the published tuition schedule. Mid-year arrivals are required to pay prorated tuition in full before their start date.

Fee payment options (methods and platforms)

- Payments may be made by electronic payment directly to The École for single or two-installment payments. FACTS is used for the nine-month payment plan (monthly installments). The early-payment reduction applies to electronic payments made by the early deadline. Specific payment instruments (for example, exact credit card or bank transfer acceptance) are handled through the school's electronic payment processes and through FACTS.

Brief note on information gaps found

- The published schedule provides clear annual tuition figures, enrollment/application fees, the USD 5,500 non-refundable deposit, payment schedules (dates and installment structure), the early-payment discount, and mid-year proration rules. Exact prices for uniforms, lunch, after-school activities, overnight field trips, and camp activities are not listed in the tuition schedule and are shown as separate costs (uniform vendor and lunch provider are identified). No additional refund/withdrawal policy beyond the non-refundable deposit is published on the tuition page.

The École New York is a bilingual French-American school located in Manhattan's Flatiron District, serving students from Pre-Nursery through 8th Grade, with a dedicated high school track in partnership with Léman Manhattan. The school integrates the French National Curriculum with an inquiry-based American system, where native-speaking faculty teach core subjects like math, science, and humanities in both French and English. A unique hallmark of the Middle School experience is the "World of Work" (WoW) initiative, which connects 8th-grade students with professionals from diverse fields—such as UN advisors, perfumers, and journalists—to explore career paths and personal values. For outdoor activity, the school utilizes a rooftop playground at its Maternelle campus and daily closes East 22nd Street to create a safe "Open Street" for Elementary and Middle School play. Students also begin learning Spanish or Mandarin in 3rd Grade, further expanding their multicultural perspective and communication skills.
