By being a family owned program, Ecole Jean-Jacques Rousseau tuition is significantly lower than other (French) private schools in the area, and it offers a Financial Assistance Program for qualified families.

Tuition

String Program, a choice between violin or cello, is mandatory at French School of Austin, and the annual fee is included in the tuition.

Some extracurricular activities may be included with tuition, depending on the school year such as yoga and drama. Additional fees apply for other extracurricular activities if offered: soccer or chess.

Guitar, Piano and Voice classes are optional/additional classes, and must be requested by the family. The school hires an instructor to offer these classes. They are billed separately based on the outside instructor’s fee.

Annual Tuition includes French textbooks, notebooks, and violin/cello lessons when applicable.

Additional fee applies for the after school Third Language Track option.
