PRE-REGISTRATION AND REGISTRATION (1ST REGISTRATION FEE)
Pre-registration for the Lycée Français International de Tokyo begins when the school receives a pre-registration file via the EDUKA parents' portal. Enrolment is definitive upon receipt by the accounting department of the payment of the first enrolment fees, it being understood that the enrolment fee is final:
that the payment of the amount of the first registration fee before the accounting department sends the corresponding invoice will not be recognized by the school and will not, therefore, lead to the final registration;
that the payment of the first registration fee does not constitute a reservation of a place in the school beyond September 30th following the beginning of the school year;
that the first registration fee is non-refundable.
The first registration fee is due per child at the time of the first registration at the Lycée Français International de Tokyo or at the time of re-registration following a departure which has led to the student's dismissal.
Families who have applied for a scholarship are not required to pay the first registration fee before the official notification of the result of their scholarship application. In order to take this situation into account, they must contact the accounting department as soon as they pre-register.
As the first registration fees are not refundable, for scholarship students, advance payments will be deducted when paying the 1st trimester tuition fees (see scholarship file). In this case, please inform the accounting department by email.
The payment of the first registration fees is tantamount to acceptance of the present financial regulations (payment by a third party employer or through the AEFE scholarship system is equivalent to a payment and is also tantamount to acceptance of the present financial regulations).
RE-REGISTRATION FEES
A pupil's re-enrolment for the following school year is effective subject to payment of the re-enrolment fee. These are invoiced each year during the April-June term. The re-enrolment fee is non-refundable.
TUITION FEES
Tuition at the Lycée Français International de Tokyo is not free of charge. The amount of the tuition fees is set each year and for one academic year by the Board of Directors of the Foundation in February. These fees are payable by trimester and within 21 days of receipt of the corresponding invoice, see the following breakdown:
September - December: 40% of the annual fee
January - March: 30% of the annual rate
April - June: 30% of the annual rate
Note that :
Any quarter commenced is due in full.
In case of departure during the school year, the entire current term is due.
Professional transfers, academic difficulties or temporary exclusion from the school do not exempt those responsible from paying the quarterly school fees due. In case of arrival during the school year, the full term in which the pupil is enrolled is due.
No reinstatement is possible, either because of temporary absence from duty (absence of a teacher, sick leave not replaced by the teacher, participation in continuing education activities, statutory leave of absence authorisations, closure of the class, typhoon, normal exercise of the right to strike...) or because of the pupil's absence (illness, temporary exclusion...).
