Tuition & Fees
Please see our Tuition Schedule below for amounts. Totals vary depending on the grade or the number of days enrolled per week. In addition, fees may include YMCA instruction, a yearbook, certain field trips, and activities. We try to keep tuition as low as possible and consistent with the programs we offer.
Tuition is due either paid in full to the school by June 1, 2023 or collected according to the quarterly tuition payment schedule through FACTS Tuition Management Services.

Mid-Year Enrollment:
L'Ecole Française du Maine accepts students on a rolling admission basis when space is available. Tuition is prorated based on the start date. The total tuition is divided by ten and then multiplied by the months of attendance to determine the prorated amount due. Our policy is that any month begun is due, regardless of the academic calendar of a particular month.
Notice of Nondiscriminatory Policy as to Students:
L'Ecole Française du Maine admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sexual orientation, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
