Language used AT FrancoSud
Students evolve in an environment where the language of communication is French. As the official working language of FrancoSud and its schools is French, all meetings, written communications and reports on student progress are also in French. However, individual meetings concerning a student can be held in French or in English.
School fees
FrancoSud does not charge parents for basic school fees. It is however possible for its schools to invoice parents for fees aimed at covering part of the costs of optional courses, extracurricular and sports activities or educational field trips, for example. Where applicable, the school will inform parents of the amount of fees to be paid as well as the deadline for paying them.
