The financial regulation does state that manuals, supplies and other ancillary fees are managed as separate items and that families remain responsible for such charges when imposed. Refunds and exceptional adjustments - DPI is not refundable. - For tuition, the regulation provides that the month started is due in case of departure; exceptional remissions may be granted in defined cases (medical absence over 30 consecutive days, pupils in situation of handicap assisted by an auxiliary, or if the pupil is not accepted for reasons related to unpaid amounts). Overpayments resulting from subsequent award of bourses (scholarships) are either refunded or credited against amounts due for the current school year. Fee payment methods and operational details - Authorized payment methods include: cheque payable to the Agent comptable of Lycée Lyautey, card payment on site or online, direct debit (on request), cash deposit, or bank transfer to the account of the Trésor Public. Transfers in euros are valued at the official chancellerie exchange rate on the date of valorisation of the school account. In cases of payment incidents the accounting officer may require certified cheque, cash, or online card payment and may cancel a direct-debit arrangement after any rejected collection. Administrative notes on exemptions and bourses - Where applicable, families of French pupils may apply for AEFE school-aid (bourses scolaires); awarded bourses are deducted from the tuition due and any residual family charge must be paid under the same payment terms.

History

History EFI Casablanca is a French international school serving students from kindergarten through high school, combining academic excellence with student development, and offering two International Sections (American and Arabic). | History The Lycée Lyautey de Casablanca is a French international secondary school in Casablanca, directly managed by the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE). Its origins trace to the French Protectorate era, when Casablanca's lycée system began on the Camp Vilgrain site and later moved to Boulevard Mers-Sultan as the Grand Lycée, with the Petit Lycée following in 1929; both campuses were overseen under a single leadership. The Grand Lycée opened in 1921, and the Petit Lycée was relocated in 1929. The school is named after Marshal Lyautey, the first Resident General of France in Morocco, who promoted modernization and education. During the Protectorate, Moroccan students were gradually admitted to French lycées starting in 1944, reaching about 12% of enrollments by 1951. The institution remains part of AEFE and is located at 260 Boulevard Ziraoui, Casablanca. |
