Financial Assistance from the School - Solidarity Fund

The school offers financial assistance from PS to Terminale (Pre-kindy 1 to Year 12). The amount allocated for financial assistance depends on the number of applications received by the school and the amount available in the “financial assistance” section of the budget.

Only parents of students who have been attending our school for one year or more can apply for financial aid. Please note that families must also be in good standing with the school’s fund. This aid is reserved for families who are not eligible for scholarships from the French government.

Payment and Monthly Installments

Tuition fees are paid during the semester and are due one month before the beginning of each semester. Payment methods are indicated on your invoice (cheque, Bpay, credit card, bank transfer, etc.).

LCS does not offer a monthly fee service. Families are advised to contact credit agencies specialised in education, such as Edstart, directly and in a timely manner (usually 3 to 4 weeks before the payment deadline). These agencies are private systems that substitute for parents and pay the semester fees to LCS. Families then pay these credit agencies monthly or bi-weekly.
