Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is quoted on an annual basis; the school year is made up of two semesters (Semester 1: September–January; Semester 2: February–June). Any semester begun must be paid for in full. Families enrolling mid‑year are charged on a prorata basis, with full month charged for the month of arrival.
- Required initial payments at enrolment (new students): application fee, registration/admission fee, Excellence Fund contribution and an initial down payment on tuition of EUR 4,500. For re‑enrolment, a down payment of EUR 4,500 is requested (to be paid by March 1st for the following academic year unless opting out by the published deadline).
- Payment timing: the first payment is the down payment on enrolment or re‑enrolment; a second payment is due at the end of August; the remaining balance is payable according to the payment option selected. The school allows payment in 1 or 2 instalments by bank transfer, and via direct debit (SEPA) in 3, 6 or 9 instalments (direct debit is preferred from a French bank account but SEPA from listed countries is accepted). All bank charges are at the payer's expense.

Late payment and debt recovery
- Late payment interest and penalties: interest is charged at the legal rate plus two percentage points and a late‑payment penalty of 10% of the unpaid invoice is applied automatically for missed deadlines. Debt‑recovery administrative charges are applied in stages (several reminder letters free; later reminders and formal actions carry fees—for example, reminder letters and final recovery charges up to the specified amounts; a bailiff command can incur higher costs). Fees for returned direct debits or unpaid cheques are charged. Non‑payment may result in exclusion from classes and the immediate payability of all outstanding sums.

Refunds, cancellations and early departure
- Application fees, registration/admission fees and the Excellence Fund are non‑refundable. The EUR 4,500 down payment may be refunded if the family cancels by registered letter within 15 days of the student's admission date; beyond 15 days amounts paid at enrolment are generally not refunded. In special circumstances (for example, the school proposes an educational arrangement or directs a student to education not provided at ISN, or for Grade 5 and Grade 8 students who obtain a place in a French state collège/lycée under the rules described), the school will refund sums already paid as set out in the financial terms.
- Early departures by parents require 90 days' (3 months) written notice by registered letter; any semester during which the child attends must be paid in full. Amounts paid will not be refunded in the normal course. Expulsion for breach of obligations does not entitle the family to a refund of fees already paid.

Boarding
- Boarding is not applicable: ISN operates as a private day international school; no boarding fee schedule is published.

Fee payment options and practical notes
- Accepted methods of payment: cash (subject to legal limits), bank transfer (typically in one or two instalments; all bank charges at payer's expense), SEPA direct debit (from eligible European/associated countries) arranged for payment in 3, 6 or 9 instalments, and credit card payments (Visa, Mastercard). Families who choose direct debit must provide bank details and, where required, a Relevé d'Identité Bancaire or SEPA form. Charges for rejected debits apply.
- Sibling discounts: a 10% reduction on tuition is applied from the third child enrolled (subject to conditions) and a 20% reduction from the fourth child enrolled (subject to conditions).
