Preamble
Cosmopolitan Bilingual Academy is a secular learning environment committed to providing students with the knowledge and skills they need for contemporary challenges. Families are asked to respect the school’s secular nature, and the institution protects everyone’s freedom of conscience.
These policies exist to foster mutual respect, cooperation and student safety, and to help develop responsible citizens.
Admission
Enrolment requires transparency and cooperation between families and the school.
The registration of your child must be renewed at the end of every school year.
Students commit to full academic years, from September through June.

Parents must ensure punctual arrival and pick-up. Children remaining after closing time automatically enter canteen or after-school care at the family’s expense.
Late pick-up. If a child is picked up late twice within one week, five weekdays, a meeting will be held with the parents. Repeated late pick-ups result in mandatory home days and may require alternative childcare arrangements.
Financial information
- Monthly tuition is due on the first of each month. A 5,000 F late fee applies after the fifth.
- Only duly enrolled pupils who have paid all their fees will be given official documents.
- Tuition and registration fees are neither refundable nor transferable.
- No credits are given for sick days or vacation days within the school year.
Attendance, punctuality and reports
Regular attendance directly affects academic progress. Any absence must be justified, either in advance or by notification on the morning. Parents and teachers work together to help students catch up afterwards.
Progress reports are issued five times a year and require a parent’s signature on return.
School uniform
Uniform is mandatory as a symbol of school identity. Shorts are required underneath dresses and skirts. Flip-flops, high heels and roller skates are prohibited.
The school uses student photographs from school activities for class albums, presentations, articles and website publication.
Health and emergency care
- A student who is ill should stay at home. Children must be free of fever and diarrhoea for at least 24 hours before returning.
- Medication requires written parental authorisation. Drugs are otherwise prohibited in school except in documented medical circumstances.
- Parents must collect an ill child within 30 to 45 minutes of being notified.
- Long hair should be tied back for safety.
Prohibited items include personal toys, chewing gum, sweets, dangerous objects such as pocket knives and cutters, medicines, jewellery and valuables such as cameras, camcorders and telephones. Confiscated items are returned to parents. Smoking and animals are prohibited on school grounds.
Borrowed library books must be returned on time and in good condition. Lost or damaged materials are invoiced; unreturned books lead to suspension of borrowing privileges.
Discipline and sanctions
Responsibility for property damage falls on parents or guardians. Behavioural issues trigger a graduated response:
- Remedial measures within the classroom.
- A verbal warning.
- A parent and school meeting, with sanctions agreed.
- Temporary or permanent exclusion, depending on severity.
