At a private school under contract such as Le Gymnase, families may be eligible for public financial aid, which is available exclusively for classes under contract; families in the BISS program are therefore not eligible for this funding. The amounts and eligibility criteria for this aid are set by the government and are means-tested.
A notice regarding all these programs is sent to families in mid-September. Families submit an application, which is reviewed by the Strasbourg School District and a committee.
More than fifty students receive aid each year, totaling nearly €50,000.
More than fifty students receive assistance each year, totaling nearly €10,000.
In addition to government assistance, Le Gymnase has established comprehensive internal support programs for families. This assistance is available to all students, regardless of their grade level or academic track. All students—from kindergarten through 12th grade, as well as those in the BISS program—are therefore eligible for support and assistance. This assistance is granted following a review of the application by an internal school committee.
More than 70 applications are reviewed each year, and over 50 students receive assistance, with an average grant of €250.
Each year, about twenty applications are submitted, three-quarters of which are approved for an average amount of over €600.
A discount is available when enrolling a second child (subject to certain conditions). This discount applies only if both children are enrolled in the international program from elementary school through middle school. Please note that the sibling discount is not granted automatically to families already benefiting from a preferential tuition rate. Eligibility is reviewed on a case-by-case basis and is subject to the decision of the relevant committee.
Absolutely. Your application is reviewed by a select committee in the strictest confidence. No members of the teaching staff are informed.
