The Foundation Board updates the rates for each new school year. The new rates are communicated to parents with the re-enrollment requests. Ecole des Nations (Montessori pedagogy) is a Foundation whose only resources come from school fees paid by parents for their child's education. It bears heavy fixed costs and large salary costs for its qualified staff, regardless of the number of pupils. The Foundation Board which manages it must therefore be strict in the management of its finances and its debtors.
