Fees & funded hours

Three ways to join Les Petites Etoiles

Standard, partly funded, or fully funded — here’s how each option works.

95%+ of our families choose one of our two Bilingual+ Programmes (Standard or Partly Funded).

The Bilingual+ curriculum is not available as a fully funded free option — government-funded hours can only cover an English-only place.
