I attempted to retrieve the schoolees for Lyce9e Frane7ais International c9lite e28093 Beyrouth, but the published fee schedule on the school site is a Google Drive PDF that is not accessible without sign-in. I located the "Frais de scolarite9 25-26" file linked from the school's pages.

Please upload or paste the school's fee schedule PDF or the fee table from that document so I can extract and format the full, itemised 2026/27 (or 2025/26) fee breakdown you requested. Once you provide the file or the fee details, I will produce a clear, factual fee overview covering:
- Application fees
- Tuition fees per year group and per term (full detail)
- Billing schedule and payment terms
- Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Other costs (uniform, materials, extras)
- Refund rules (if stated)
- Accepted payment methods

I could not access the detailed numbers myself because the PDF requires Google account access; supplying the document will let me complete the requested, parent-facing fee overview in the exact format you specified.

Parent Experience

History
Three campuses—Beirut, Bechamoun, and Tyre—belong to the Elite network that administers them and rely on the pedagogical experience of inspectors-general and former French administrators of the Ministry of Education, gathered within the French-Lebanese Association for Education and Culture (AFLEC), guarantors of academic excellence. They are part of the AEFE network of French schools abroad, ensuring alignment with the French education system. The three sites are approved by the French Ministry of National Education, guaranteeing access to French examinations leading to the Brevet at the end of the ninth grade and to the French or International French Baccalaureate (BFI) at the end of terminale, which open doors to higher education in France and worldwide. The schools welcome students in Beirut, Bechamoun, and Tyre and operate within AFLEC, each preserving its own identity while working in synergy and sharing pedagogical choices and common values. In recent months, openings have been made in Beirut and Bechamoun for Tyre students in response to the security context in southern Lebanon.
