The Foundation Board updates the fees for each new school year. The new rates are communicated to parents with re-enrollment requests.

The Ecole des Nations (Montessori Pedagogy) is a Foundation whose only resources come from the school fees paid by parents for their child’s schooling. It incurs heavy fixed costs and significant salary costs for its qualified staff, regardless of the number of pupils. The Foundation Board that manages it must, therefore, be strict in the management of its finances and its debtors.

*The “Agreement between the School and Parents*, which accompanies the “Financial Conditions” and the “Conditions of admission”, must be signed before a registration and entry into the School become final.
