Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition fees are invoiced and charged per semester and must be paid in full by the due date shown on the invoice.
- The school does not operate an internal fee instalment service. Families who require staged repayment are expected to make arrangements with independent/private education credit organisations; those organisations pay the semester fees to the school and families then repay the credit organisation on an agreed schedule.
- The invoicing calendar sets the invoice dates and payment deadlines for each semester and for other billed items.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable. The school does not operate boarding (no boarding fee schedule applies).

Refund information
- The Enrolment Application fee (AUD 250) is non‑refundable. The initial registration fee (AUD 1,700) and the re‑registration fee (AUD 525) are non‑refundable. Refund rules for tuition, canteen and other charges are set out in the school's formal fee policy.

Fee payment options and procedure
- Tuition and other school fees are billed according to the school's Payment Procedure; invoices show payment deadlines. The school requires full payment of semester invoices by the invoice due date. Families who need to spread payments are advised to arrange private/independent education finance (credit) providers in advance; those providers will pay the school and families will repay the provider. Specific accepted payment methods and step‑by‑step payment instructions are contained in the school's payment procedure documentation.

Financial assistance
- French government scholarship opportunities are available for eligible French nationals registered with the Consulate; eligibility and application timing follow the Consulate's schedule. The school operates a Solidarity Fund providing discretionary financial assistance available to families who have been enrolled at the school for at least one year and who are not eligible for French government scholarships.

Summary of the most important actionable points for parents
- Expect to pay the non‑refundable enrolment application fee (AUD 250) to lodge an application and, if offered a place, the non‑refundable registration fee (AUD 1,700) within one week of the offer.
- Annual tuition is published by rate category (Rate 1, Rate 2, Rate 3) and is invoiced per semester (semester amount = annual ÷ 2). Confirm which Rate applies to your family status at enrolment.
- Plan for additional annual charges such as canteen, administrative fees, textbooks/exam deposits, uniforms and extracurricular fees. Sibling discounts apply for canteen registration.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Admissions overview and long-term alignment. The admissions team provides essential information about the admission procedure and families are expected to be committed to their child's education at Lycée Condorcet de Sydney in the long term. An admissions committee reviews applications monthly throughout the year. For the 2025-2026 school year, reviews began in September 2024, and a place is guaranteed only if the desired grade has availability. 2. Early enquiry and waiting list. Because each family project is unique, contact the admissions office early to discuss the student's application. If withdrawals occur during the year, places may be offered to children remaining on the waiting list who are eligible to enroll. The school reserves the right to allocate places beyond capacity in exceptional circumstances and may request information about families' long-term plans for their children. 3. Online enrolment. Registration requests are made online on Eduka, and a tutorial is available to help submit an enrolment application. After submission, a confirmation email is received. 4. Enrolment procedure. Submit the application on Eduka with the compulsory documents and pay the non-refundable 250 AUD application fee for review. The admissions committee studies applications for the current school year fortnightly and may ask some students to complete an assessment. If approved and a place is available, an offer is sent. Enrolment proceeds by uploading enrolment documents and paying the registration fee on Eduka, after which enrolment is confirmed. 5. Age-specific entry and evaluations. Pre-Kindy 1 & 2 entrants join from age 3; Preschool offers are typically sent between October and November of the year preceding the August school year, with Moyenne Section offers in February of the current registration year. Due to high demand, there is a waiting list and offers are made as spaces become available; a toilet-training condition applies. Kindergarten to Year 5 entrants may be evaluated if they have not previously studied in the French system, with remote evaluation and a meeting with the child and parents if needed, and results provided within a few days. Secondary School entrants (Year 6–12) undergo an assessment in French and mathematics before enrolment, with a response issued within about a week; a minimum level of French proficiency is required as instruction is primarily in French. 6. IB and non-French entrants. IB enrolments for Y11 and Y12 are managed through Eduka, with registrations open for the current intake; the LCS admissions team and the IB coordinator are available for further information. For students coming from non-French schools, an arrival assessment is conducted to ensure proper placement. 7. Visa and travel. A limited number of student visas are available and there is a selection process for visa holders. For attendance without family, host arrangements can be coordinated through Global Experience or Study Vision. Tourist visas are limited in duration and may not support longer stays. A visa must be uploaded to Eduka before the first day of school, and a vaccination record may be required to comply with health regulations. 8. Tours and next steps. A school tour can be booked to learn more about Lycée Condorcet de Sydney and to discuss next steps with the admissions team.

Waitlist
Waitlists exist in certain grades due to high demand. Within available places, priority is given to siblings, students coming from AEFE network schools, and students enrolled in a French school to guarantee continuity of the programme. The school reserves the right to request information about families' long-term plans for their children and to refuse a pupil whose family plans are not in line with the school project. The school also reserves the right to allocate places beyond its capacity in exceptional circumstances.
