Fee details
Application fees
- There is no separate application fee published for enrolment; no fixed ‘‘ansökningsavgift'' amount is listed in the school's publicly available enrolment documents.
Tuition fees (by month and by year per child)
- For families who HAVE been granted state subsidy ("statsbidrag/school allowance") the monthly tuition bands are: 330 EUR, 250 EUR or 120 EUR depending on the family's annual gross income. Annual tuition is calculated as the monthly amount multiplied by 10 (monthly × 10 months). For example: 330 EUR/month = EUR 3,300 per year (330 × 10). For each additional sibling a half-fee is charged.
- For families who HAVE NOT been granted state subsidy, the monthly tuition bands are: 480 EUR, 410 EUR or 220 EUR depending on the family's annual gross income. Annual tuition is the monthly amount multiplied by 10. For each additional sibling a half-fee is charged (sibling discount does not apply when the fee is paid by a company/organization).
- For places where a company, authority, municipality or organisation pays the school fee, the published rate is EUR 6,900 per child and per year; these fees are usually invoiced either for the full year or half-year. No sibling discount is applied in this payer category.
- The school's day-school provision covers children aged approximately 6–12 years (grundskola F–6). The published tuition bands apply per child (they are not published as differing rates per individual year group/grade). To obtain a per-term figure you should multiply the monthly fee by the number of months in that term; the school's published model is monthly billing over 10 months and the annual amount is defined as monthly × 10.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Private-paying families normally pay the school fee monthly over 10 months; the annual fee is calculated as the chosen monthly amount × 10. Companies/organisations that pay typically settle either the full year or half-year invoicing. The school applies a stepped-reduction model for private-paying families based on gross family income. If a child starts in the spring term, no reduction of the school fee for that term is granted (spring-term starters do not receive the pro rata reduction).
Boarding fees
- There is no boarding provision; the school operates as a day school (dagskola). No boarding fees are published.
Other costs and extras
- Published additional service and incidental fees (per day or per service) include: - Teaching (day-school single-visit): EUR 30 per day. - Fritids (after-school care): EUR 10 per day. - Fritids for existing but not registered fritids pupils: EUR 8 per day. - Fritids extension (pickup after 16:30): EUR 3. - Holiday care (lovfritids) five days: EUR 180. - Holiday care one day: EUR 36. - School lunch: EUR 5 per meal. - Private tuition (45 minutes): EUR 50. - Private tuition at home (45 minutes): EUR 100. - Written exam (3 hours): EUR 75. - Sports hall hire (1 hour, weekdays 08:30–16:00): EUR 22. These ancillary charges are billed separately to the regular school fee where applicable. Bank payment details for payments are published alongside this price list. (List updated June 2024.)
- No uniform fee is published in the school's standard fee documents. If a uniform or other compulsory material cost exists, it is not listed among the standard published charges.
Refunds and cancellation
- The formal cancellation (avanmälan/uppsägning) form specifies that the last date to cancel a pupil place prior to the autumn term is April 30. The published fee pages note that no reduction is given for children who start in the spring term for that term. A detailed line-by-line refund schedule (for example, prorated refunds after term start) is not published among the standard fee documents; cancellations and their financial consequences are handled via the school's contract/cancellation procedures.
Fee payment options (methods)
- The school publishes bank-transfer details (Deutsche Bank IBAN and BIC) for payments; the price-list document includes IBAN: DE18 1007 0124 0034 3137 00 and BIC: DEUTDEDB101. No public reference to credit-card payment or online-card processing is given in the standard fee documents. Invoicing frequency is as noted above (monthly over 10 months for private payers; company invoices commonly full- or half-year).
Quick calculation examples
- Family with state subsidy and gross income over EUR 50,001: 330 EUR/month → EUR 3,300 per year (330 × 10). - Family without state subsidy and gross income over EUR 50,001: 480 EUR/month → EUR 4,800 per year (480 × 10). - Company-paid place: EUR 6,900 per year (no sibling discount).
Brief summary of available vs. missing details
- Published materials provide clear monthly-rate bands (which are multiplied by 10 to give the annual fee), the company-paid annual rate, sibling discount rules, billing cadence (monthly × 10) and a list of additional per-service charges. The school's standard published documents do not list a separate application fee amount, do not publish a detailed prorated refund table for withdrawals during a term, and do not advertise card/online payment methods — bank transfer details are provided instead.

Curriculum details
Curriculum details
The Moser Schule Schweizer Gymnasium is a state-recognized gymnasium with a German-French-English orientation and begins in grade 5. Multilingual instruction includes immersion in French and English. In grade 10, students obtain the Mittlerer Schulabschluss (MSA) to access the upper secondary level. The 12th grade can be completed with Abitur or AbiBac.
Curriculum details
The Swedish School in Berlin follows the Swedish curriculum for grundskolan (compulsory schooling), förskoleklass (preschool class) and fritidshemmet (after-school care) Lgr22, and uses the current syllabi in all subjects. It also follows the overseas Swedish school regulations and aligns with Berlin's primary-school curricula. Norwegian instruction follows the Norwegian curriculum. The school has 46 enrolled pupils aged 6–12. Language profiling extends from preschool to year 6, with instruction in Swedish, German and English from preschool.
1. 5th and 6th grade: The Moser School is open to all students who have successfully completed Grades 1–4 of primary school and who want to pursue foreign language focus in addition to their mother tongue. Typically admission to Grade 5 occurs to enable immersion-based learning. A gymnasium recommendation from the previous school is advantageous, and suitability for attending a gymnasium is a prerequisite. In a discussion between parents, the child, and the school management, the school's concept, expectations and possibilities are discussed and all important questions are clarified. Early scheduling of such a meeting is advisable; there is no fixed enrollment period within the school year, so available places from the preceding year are allocated. Each year two parallel Grade 5 classes with 20 children each are opened.
