AIS’s fee page includes a payment memo and invoice dates for 2026–27, although the table heading itself was not year-labelled in our review. It also lists separate application, capital and examination charges. The first 70% was invoiced on 1 July 2026. Confirm that the live table still applies before using it.
AIS also offers a means-tested scholarship route with limited capacity. Apply through that separate process; do not budget on the minimum possibility until an award is confirmed.
The French lycée’s 2026–27 financial rules distinguish tuition from first registration, meals, transport and other services. Its admissions page still named a €990 first-registration amount. Early reduced-fee deadlines on 31 March and 31 July 2026 have passed. Request the current offer and due dates for a late arrival.
Ekeren and central Antwerp create different journeys. Test both from your proposed home, including afternoon activities. Ask how Dutch is taught and used socially, especially if the family expects to stay in Flanders. A local Flemish atheneum or other publicly funded school is a serious alternative for a child able to study in Dutch.
