For Paris, a realistic annual day-school budget is about €29,000 per child, with the middle half of reported fees running from roughly €15,700 to €53,800, so the market spans from merely expensive to very expensive. With no inflation series supplied, there is no reliable basis here for projecting how that fee line will move over a five-year posting beyond assuming that today’s median is only a starting point. Choice is also less broad than families sometimes expect: across 11 schools, the landscape is dominated by the French Baccalaureate (9 schools), with just 3 offering IB, plus single listings for Baccalauréat and classes préparatoires. Admissions are plainly tight: pressure is rated High, with 3 schools on waitlist, 2 open, and none closed in the assessed sample.
