Fees	Fees
Fee details	Fee details Application fees (Droits de première inscription — DPI) and annual registration (DAI) - A one‑time ‘‘droit de première inscription'' (DPI) is charged the first year a child is admitted; the DPI is distinct from annual tuition and is non‑refundable. Typical DPI levels used by AEFE‑managed schools in Rabat for 2026/27 have been set in the range of MAD 20,000 for Maternelle/Élémentaire and higher for Collège/Lycée in comparable Rabat establishments. - A recurring annual registration fee (Droits Annuel d'Inscription — DAI) is payable each year from the second year of attendance; DAI amounts applied across Rabat AEFE schools in 2026/27 are generally in the low thousands of dirhams (example grids used locally show DAI values such as MAD 6,000 for Maternelle/Élémentaire, MAD 8,000 for Collège, MAD 9,000 for Lycée in comparable Rabat schools). The DAI is normally non‑refundable. Tuition fees by school year (annual and per‑term presentation) - Structure: Tuition is charged annually by level and collected in instalments (most AEFE Rabat schools bill by trimester). Annual tuition amounts depend on the pupil's level (maternelle, élémentaire, collège, lycée) and on the school section (standard / bilingual). Fees below are representative figures for AEFE‑managed Rabat schools for the 2026/27 cycle and illustrate the expected banding for a primary (maternelle/élémentaire) school such as École Paul Cézanne: - Maternelle (annual tuition typical example): MAD 47,900 per year — billed in three term instalments; equivalent to approximately MAD 15,967 per term in a three‑term billing cycle. - Élémentaire (annual tuition typical example): MAD 53,000 per year — billed in three term instalments; approx. MAD 17,667 per term. - Notes on variation: Some Rabat AEFE establishments show higher or lower tuition depending on bilingual sections or specific local decisions; for the broader set of homologated schools in 2025/26, annual tuition observed ranged roughly between MAD 38,650 and MAD 58,000 depending on level and nationality status. Expect annual tuition for Paul Cézanne's primary levels to fall within the lower‑to‑mid portion of that range. Billing schedule and payment terms - Billing frequency: Fees are set for the full academic year and are generally payable in three term instalments (first, second and third trimester). Each term invoice has a specified due date; unpaid balances may lead to administrative penalties or suspension of services until regularisation. - Prorating and mid‑year admissions: When pupils join during the school year, the applicable rules for prorating tuition and for charging DAI/DPI are set by the school: full DPI is due at first admission; the DAI may be charged pro rata depending on the trimester of arrival (common practice is 1st term = full DAI, 2nd term = 2/3, 3rd term = 1/3). Any term started is typically due in full. - Non‑payment: The financial regulations applied in the Rabat AEFE network make clear that overdue fees may trigger collection measures; families remain liable for outstanding balances. Boarding fees - École Paul Cézanne is a day primary school (maternelle/élémentaire) and does not operate a boarding facility; therefore no boarding fees apply. Other costs and mandatory extras - Meals (service de restauration): School meals are charged separately when provided; families are billed according to the school's catering plan or the number of meals taken. - Transport: School transport (if offered) is billed in addition to tuition on the basis of routes and usage. - School supplies, textbooks and exam fees: Manuels, fournitures scolaires, certifications de langue, sorties pédagogiques, classes transplantées et voyages scolaires are frequently invoiced as additional costs when they occur. Exam registration fees (for national or certification exams) are billed separately where applicable. - Uniforms and extracurriculars: Uniforms (where required), sports kit and optional extracurricular clubs are extra and billed either by the supplier or the school. - Family discounts: Standard sibling discounts and family reductions are widely used in the Rabat AEFE network (examples include a reduction from the 3rd child onward and discounts on DPI for siblings in some schools). Expect similar sibling concessions to be applied. Refund information - DPI and DAI: DPI (first‑time enrolment fee) and DAI (annual re‑registration fee) are normally non‑refundable. Any payment conditions for withdrawals, or prorating/refunding of tuition in case of departure, are governed by the school's financial regulations; common practice in the Rabat AEFE network is that ‘‘any term begun is due'' and that registration fees are retained. Fee payment options - Accepted methods (examples used in Rabat AEFE schools): bank transfer (IBAN/SWIFT), card payment (online payment portals), cheque payable to the school account, and cash deposit options through partner banks. Detailed banking coordinates and electronic payment portals are supplied on the school's billing documents. Typical receiving bank used by Rabat schools: BMCE / Bank of Africa with an IBAN for MAD collections. 2026/27 contextual note affecting fees - For the 2026/27 academic year the Rabat AEFE network introduced increases to the cost of schooling and created or expanded annual registration charges (DAI); parents in Rabat (including at Paul Cézanne) mobilised to contest a general increase reported at roughly 6–7% in the region and concern has been expressed that cumulative new charges could raise annual family cost by up to around MAD 10,000 in some cases. Expect the 2026/27 tuition and registration structure to reflect these adjustments. Summary for parents (clear action points) - Expect these fee components: DPI (one‑off on first admission, non‑refundable), annual tuition (set by level and billed by term), DAI (annual registration from year 2, non‑refundable), plus extras for meals, transport, excursions, exams, uniforms and activities. Typical primary (maternelle/élémentaire) annual tuition examples in comparable Rabat AEFE schools for 2026/27 are in the region of MAD 48,000–54,000 per year, billed across three terms. Payment methods commonly accepted include bank transfer, card (online portal), cheque and specific cash deposit options.	Fee details Application fees (DPI) - A one‑time First Enrolment Fee (DPI) is charged the first year a pupil registers with the school. Amounts: Maternelle and Élémentaire — MAD 20,000; Collège and Lycée — MAD 30,000. The DPI for maternelle (TPS to GS, both classic and bilingual sections) is currently waived as a special offer; in that case families must pay the annual registration fee (DAI) and the September tuition to confirm enrolment. The DPI is non‑refundable. Annual registration fee (DAI) - The Annual Registration Fee (DAI) is payable each year from the second year of enrolment. Amounts by section: Maternelle — MAD 6,000 (Section Classique) or MAD 6,500 (Section Français/Anglais); Élémentaire — MAD 6,000 (Classique) or MAD 6,500 (Fr/Ang); Collège — MAD 6,000 (Classique) or MAD 6,500 (Fr/Ang); Lycée — MAD 6,000 (Classique). The DAI is not refundable. Sibling discounts - A reduction of MAD 5,000 is applied to the DPI for each sibling from the second child onwards. A 5% reduction is applied to tuition fees starting with the third child in the family. Tuition fees by year group (annual, monthly and per‑term breakdown) Notes: the school states tuition fees are fixed for the full academic year (the annual amount applies regardless of the month of entry or whether instruction is delivered in‑person or remotely) and fees are invoiced each trimester. Per‑term figures below are the annual amount divided by three, corresponding to the school's trimester billing. - Section Classique — Maternelle: monthly MAD 4,140; annual MAD 41,400; per term (annual ÷ 3) MAD 13,800.00. - Section Classique — Élémentaire: monthly MAD 4,770; annual MAD 47,700; per term MAD 15,900.00. - Section Classique — Collège: monthly MAD 5,400; annual MAD 54,000; per term MAD 18,000.00. - Section Classique — Lycée (2nde, 1ère): monthly MAD 5,650; annual MAD 56,500; per term MAD 18,833.33. - Section Classique — Terminale: monthly MAD 5,650; annual MAD 56,500; per term MAD 18,833.33. - Section Français / Anglais — Maternelle: monthly MAD 4,660; annual MAD 46,600; per term MAD 15,533.33. - Section Français / Anglais — Élémentaire: monthly MAD 5,390; annual MAD 53,900; per term MAD 17,966.67. - Section Français / Anglais — Collège: monthly MAD 6,440; annual MAD 64,400; per term MAD 21,466.67. Billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is billed and payable each trimester. The tuition amounts are fixed for the full academic year and apply regardless of when the pupil joins or leaves during the year. Any trimester that has begun is due in full. The school may invoice additional ancillary charges during the year for specific projects or services — those charges are payable within the deadlines communicated by the school. Boarding fees - No boarding provision or boarding fees are listed in the school's fee information; the school's published fees and services describe day‑school tuition, uniforms and school supplies but do not include boarding charges. Other costs and compulsory extras - Annual ancillary costs that can be invoiced during the year include pedagogical project fees, language certification fees, digital or printed textbooks and supplies, materials for projects, class trips (classes transplantées), and school excursions. Families are required to pay these additional fees when invoiced. - Uniforms: an obligatory uniform set for new pupils comprises 15 items (pantalons, bermuda/jupe, shorts, T‑shirts, polos, pull/cardigan, jogging bottoms, sweat‑shirt à fermeture éclair, doudoune, casquette). Uniforms can be purchased directly from the school; no fixed uniform price is published on the fee pages. - School supplies: the school operates a grouped purchase service for maternelle and primaire that supplies all required consumables and manuals for the year (excluding backpacks and pencil cases); payment is made at order and follows the payment conditions published by the school. For collège and lycée, supply and textbook lists are published separately. Refund information and contract terms - The DPI and DAI are explicitly non‑refundable.
