Secondary and exam years are typically higher. Paris is usually the most expensive.

What to watch beyond tuition

• Registration and enrolment fees (one-off; can be EUR 500–2,500+).
• Learning support and EAL – often extra; can add EUR 2,000–6,000+ per year.
• Board exam fees (IGCSE, IB, A level) – not always in tuition; budget EUR 1,500–4,000+ per exam session.

How to choose

• Decide budget band, city and curriculum; get full fee schedules (tuition + one-off and annual extras).
• Compare total cost over 3–5 years and fee progression by year group.
• Ask what is included vs add-on (support, trips, exams).
