Leaving at the end of the school year
French leaving certificates (certificats de radiation) are issued to all students who are leaving the school permanently (provided that tuition fees are fully paid up).
Parents may collect leaving certificates from the administration from 26 June onwards. The student’s academic and health records may be collected at the same time.
Special case:
Children leaving the school to join another school in the Emirates (including Dubai) or in another Arab country will need an official leaving certificate in Arabic. This is issued by the KHDA, which charges 120 Dhs for the procedure. Please pay this amount via the Skiply app. The certificate will then be sent to you directly by email at the end of June.
Leaving certificates for Arab countries will require additional legalisation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and by the competent authorities of the destination country (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt). This is not required for transfers between schools within the Emirates.
These certificates can only be issued once all tuition fees have been paid in full.
Unexpected departure during the summer
If your child is leaving because of a change of school during the summer, please contact the Admissions Office (inscription.lfi@aflec-fr.org). In this case, the certificate will be ready at the end of August, and re-enrolment fees are non-refundable.

Refund conditions:
In the event of a transfer to another school within the UAE, re-enrolment advance fees are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another account, even where siblings remain enrolled at LFI AFLEC.
For refunds, tuition fees are calculated term by term. The refund is calculated based on the withdrawal date shown on the withdrawal certificate, which corresponds to the date specified by the parent in the withdrawal request submitted to the school.
- Only the enrolment or re-enrolment fees will be deducted if the withdrawal request was made less than 60 calendar days before the start date.
- If the student was enrolled in the term for two weeks or less: one month’s fees will be deducted.
- If the student was enrolled in the term for between two weeks and one month: two months’ fees will be deducted.
- If the student was enrolled in the term for more than one month: the full fees for the term will be deducted.
