INFORMATION FOR PARENTS
FEES
School fees consist of a monthly instalment (payable for 11 months of the year), textbook rental fees and subscription to the PTA. The capital levy is a one-off payment made before a student enters the school. Fees for Mauritian students are lower than for non-Mauritians. To qualify for Mauritian fees, a pupil must be in possession of either a Mauritian birth certificate or passport, or be registered in a parent’s Mauritian passport. One full term’s notice (4 months) must be given in writing to LBIS when withdrawing a student, or one full term’s fees will be charged in lieu. No refund will be given in the case of pupil expulsion. School fees are only payable in advance by banker’s standing order. There is a 15% discount on the monthly school fees for a second and all subsequent children. The schedule of current fees is available from the School Office.INSURANCE
