Tuition and fees

As a non-profit organization registered in France, all fees are used to provide an exceptional educational experience for our students, in particular to attract and retain the best educators and administrators internationally. All surpluses are reinvested back into ASP to fund continuous improvements and to support innovation.

Educational trips

Mandatory
Annual

Included in tuition

Educational trips are included in the tuition fee if they are an integral part of the curriculum program and have a mandatory attendance. The tuition fee is a global amount covering the many programs on offer. Should a trip not take place, the relevant funds are reallocated to other educational programs and materials, and hence reimbursements are not possible.

Financial assistance

As a nonprofit educational establishment, tuition payments are our main source of revenue. However, we understand that unexpected circumstances mean some families might require assistance.

At the moment, our financial assistance program is only open to current ASP families who require temporary tuition and fee support. We do not yet offer need-based (or merit) scholarships to applicants.
