Invoices are issued at the start of each term. Tuition becomes due at each term arrival. - DPI (first-registration fee) is due in advance, in a single payment, prior to the start of the school year. - Arrivals or departures during the school year: the month during which the pupil arrives or departs is charged in full on the basis of one-tenth of the annual tuition. No ordinary discount is granted for absences linked to temporary changes (e.g., short-term teacher absence, short pupil absence), although exceptional prorated remissions can be granted in specific cases (e.g., medical absence over 30 consecutive days, certain disability-related arrangements). - Non-payment consequences: the accounting officer conducts amicable reminders, then may suspend acceptance of the pupil in class and, if unpaid at the end of the term, can remove the pupil from the rolls; legal recovery and related costs are charged to the debtor. Failure of a scheduled direct-debit or other échéancier may render the entire balance immediately due. Boarding / Internat - Boarding is not listed as a fee item in the 2026–2027 financial regulations and the school's fee decision documents for families; therefore, no boarding/pension fees are applicable.

Meal payments are handled via the school's appointed catering application. - School supplies, textbooks, examination fees, uniform and transport: these items are typically additional to the annual tuition and billed or requested separately; specific amounts for textbooks, uniforms or transport are not listed in the 2026–2027 financial regulation document and are charged as appropriate (where applicable) to families. 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. Exemptions for certain locally contracted staff are specified in the school's regulations. (End of fees overview.)

History	History The Lycée Français International Louis-Massignon Casablanca is a French-accredited school located in Casablanca and a member of the Mission laïque française OSUI network. Since opening in 1996, LFILM has grown to serve preschool through terminale across multiple Casablanca sites, guided by French educational standards and a plurilingual and intercultural approach. It was the first self-financed, non-profit establishment created in Morocco by OSUI. The school expanded to campuses in Mers Sultan (1998), Val d'Anfa (2001), Ain Sebâ (2008), and the Bouskoura campus (2016), and it serves about 3,985 students across three sites.	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.
Community	Community The establishment's Project for the 21st century Pursues the development of social-emotional, relational, and cognitive skills through curriculum and experiences. It emphasizes student well‑being and engagement, including field trips, immersive activities, cultural outings, and participation in events that foster growth. The program offers pathways in arts and culture, health education, citizenship, career planning, languages, and digital education. The digital pedagogy includes tools such as a managed learning environment and secure online platforms to support learning and digital citizenship. It also prioritizes student representation through class delegates, eco-delegates, and student ambassadors in initiatives like the PHARE program.	Community The school's community is organized around the Foundation Lycée Lyautey, created to promote citizen engagement and associative involvement among students across the Casablanca–Mohammedia AEFE pole, and to support pedagogical projects and solidarity actions in education, youth, sport, health, social and environmental initiatives. The ASLL (Association sportive du lycée Lyautey) runs a broad range of activities, with individual sports such as athletics, gymnastics, dance, climbing, tennis, boxing, badminton and swimming, and team sports including basketball, handball, football, and volleyball; many activities take place mid‑week in Beaulieu and nearby venues. Parent involvement is coordinated through associations such as APEEF, PEEP, and UCPE, with annual elections of parent representatives to the school council and ongoing avenues for dialogue and participation. The community also hosts events like Rama'dons, a solidarity food drive, and the Grand Prix du Jeune Photographe, organized by volunteering parents and students.
Parent teacher association	Parent teacher association Association des Parents d'Elèves de Massignon, APEM, has existed since 1996 and is the first voluntary parent association in the OSUI network, uniquely coordinating OSUI associations in Morocco within La FAPEE. APEM maintains a roster of parent representatives who sit on school councils and on various commissions (including catering, transport, and digital health), and organizes activities such as Christmas markets and solidarity campaigns to assist families in need, including campaigns against harassment. The Association des Parents d'élèves (APE) was created in 2006 to voice parents' views within LFILM's governance and to work with the administration and teaching staff to support student development, promoting constructive dialogue and mutual trust.	Parent teacher association There are three main parent associations: APEEF, PEEP, and UCPE. APEEF supports student schooling, participates in school and class councils, maintains dialogue among parents, teachers, and administration, and promotes universal values such as listening and respect. PEEP represents Parents d'Élèves des Établissements Publics Français au Maroc and maintains information and contact channels for parents. UCPE is the Union des Conseils de Parents d'Élèves (Parent Councils' Union) with a coordinating role for parent committees. Elections for parent representatives to the Conseil d'établissement occur annually via online voting, with participation organized through the school's channels.
