An educational investment
Simple contract and financial information
All classes at New School Lyon follow the French national curriculum. Some classes are concerned by a simple contract (contrat simple) with the French State: in these classes, certain State-approved teachers may be paid by the State.
The rate of reduction applicable to the tuition fees of the classes concerned is shared with families in the financial documents communicated by the school, in accordance with Article R.442-52 of the French Code de l'éducation.
The fees charged to families also cover services and charges not funded by the State: bilingual French–English organisation, additional supervision, staff not covered by the State, premises, equipment, catering, after-school care, activities and family services. Tuition fees remain the same across all classes of the school.
