Fees

Application fees

- A non‑refundable application (frais d'étude de dossier) of USD 100 is required at the time of the admission interview for all levels.

Registration / Development contribution (inscription initiale)

- New families pay a one‑time contribution to the development of the Collège at first registration. The stated contribution amounts are:
- USD 2,500 for entry into Petite Section (PS).
- USD 3,000 for entry into Moyenne Section (MS) and Grande Section (GS).
- A reduced contribution of USD 2,500 applies from the second child registered in the school.
- Registration is final once the development contribution and an advance on the first‑term school fees have been paid. The development contribution is non‑refundable.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)

- The school's published materials do not include a public, line‑by‑line tuition grid showing per‑term and per‑year fees by grade for the 2026/27 academic year (or the 2025/26 year in full). The school indicates that the tariffs for 2026/27 are finalized by the Board and that amounts are published in the official tariff documents; those finalized tariff tables are not publicly posted in a detailed per‑grade, per‑term schedule. As a result, specific numeric tuition amounts per grade and per term are not available in the school's public materials.

- What is stated about billing structure: registration requires payment of an advance on the first trimester; fees and tariffs are expressed in both USD and Lebanese pounds (LBP). Beyond that, the detailed tuition schedule (annual amount and how it is split by trimester or month for each class) is not published in the publicly available documents.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school requires an advance on the first trimester at the time of administrative registration; registration is confirmed once the development contribution and that advance have been paid. Specific due dates for subsequent instalments, late‑payment penalties or a published trimester/monthly billing calendar are not provided in the public materials.

- Families in financial difficulty may request payment facilities and instalment plans through the school's Financial Aid Office (Bureau d'aide). The Bureau d'aide handles confidential requests for payment arrangements.

Boarding fees

- No boarding provision or boarding fee schedule is listed in the school's public information; the Collège operates as day programmes across its sites. Transport is provided as an external service (see Transport below) rather than as on‑campus boarding. Therefore, boarding fees are not applicable.

Other costs and fees

- Uniforms: a college uniform and a sport kit are required; a protective tablier is required for the youngest classes. Prices for uniform items are not given in the public materials and are handled via the school's start‑of‑year circulars.

- Textbooks and supplies: the school publishes class‑by‑class lists of required manuals and supplies for the year; the lists do not include retail prices. Purchasing these books and supplies represents an additional family cost.

- Transport: school transport is outsourced to an external provider (Connex) for each site; transport costs and payment terms are managed by that provider and are separate from the school's tuition billing. Contact details for the transport provider are provided.

- Extra‑curricular activities, special projects, exam fees or optional services are commonly billed separately at many schools; the school's publicly available pages list activities and project support items but do not provide a public, comprehensive price list for these add‑ons. Specific charges for extracurricular programmes are not published in the public materials.

Refund information

- The development contribution paid at initial registration is expressly non‑refundable. The public materials state that requests for reimbursement of that contribution are not admissible. No public, detailed tuition‑refund policy (for partial year withdrawals or other circumstances) is published in the available documents.

Fee payment options

- The school's public pages do not publish a detailed list of accepted payment methods (for example: credit card, bank transfer, cheque). However, families may request payment facilities and staggered payment plans through the Financial Aid Office (Bureau d'aide). Transport fees are handled by the external transport operator and are billed separately by that operator.

Brief summary of what was found and outstanding items

- Found and stated here as facts: the USD 100 non‑refundable application fee; the development contribution amounts (USD 2,500 or USD 3,000 depending on entry level and USD 2,500 for the second child); requirement that registration be secured by payment of the development contribution plus an advance on the first trimester; tariffs are expressed in USD and LBP; the development contribution is non‑refundable; the Bureau d'aide offers payment facilities; transport is outsourced to Connex; uniforms and textbooks are required but prices are not listed.

- Not available in the school's public materials: a published, line‑by‑line tuition grid giving numeric tuition amounts per academic year and per term for each specific grade for 2026/27 (or a complete public schedule for 2025/26). Because that detailed tariff table is not posted in the publicly available documents, no per‑grade, per‑term numerical tuition figures can be provided here.
