Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application fees

- There is no general tuition application fee for regular entry to the state-funded GIBS.
- For applicants to the IB / pre-IB program: a written and oral assessment carries a fee of EUR 50 per candidate; this assessment fee is non-refundable. Students accepted into the IB/pre-IB program must also agree to pay the yearly contribution to the school support association and the IB examination and assessment fees.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)

- GIBS is a state-funded Austrian Gymnasium and does not charge tuition fees for attendance. Tuition per term: EUR 0; tuition per school year: EUR 0, for all year groups.
- Separate from tuition, the GIBS Foundation (Verein zur Förderung der GIBS) collects a membership contribution that supports language assistants, trips, materials and other non-government-funded items. Membership fees were EUR 450 per child per school year (with a voluntary higher contribution of EUR 650) in the published fee information. This is presented as an annual charge per child (not as a termly tuition amount).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Foundation membership fees are collected annually and payment is taken by direct debit in November of each school year (parents are asked to authorise a direct-debit mandate to VF‑GIBS).
- The IB/pre-IB written and oral assessment fee (EUR 50) is payable at the time of assessment and is non-refundable. Enrollment into IB requires agreement to pay IB examination and assessment fees and the yearly support-association contribution. Parents of students who enter after Year 5 are required to pay a lump-sum contribution equal to the annual contributions from Year 1 up to the year the student begins at GIBS.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- GIBS is a day senior secondary bilingual school for students aged 10–18 located in Graz; no boarding programme or boarding fees are published. Boarding fees: not applicable.

Other costs and fees (examples and typical items)

- IB examination and mentoring fees (Extended Essay/internal assessment-related fees) are charged to parents for IB candidates. IB textbooks required for the Diploma Programme are also a parental expense.
- Costs for school trips, student events, certain specialised learning materials, language assistants and library maintenance are identified as expenses not covered by public funding; these items are typically financed by the GIBS Foundation through membership contributions or billed separately for specific trips/activities.
- Parents' Association support may cover part of trip costs for families in financial need; separate application processes exist for such support.
- No compulsory uniform fee or uniform price list is published in the school's fee information for GIBS; uniform charges are not listed as a standard school fee in the published fee material.

Refund information

- The IB/pre-IB assessment fee of EUR 50 is explicitly non-refundable.
- No general refund policy for foundation membership contributions or other incidental charges is published in the school's fee information; specific refunds or reductions (for families in financial need) are handled via established financial-support procedures.

Fee payment options and banking details

- Foundation membership contributions are collected by direct debit (Einzugsermächtigung) in November; parents are asked to authorise direct-debit mandates to VF‑GIBS.
- The GIBS Foundation provides an IBAN for donations/payments: IBAN AT70 3800 0001 0246 6977 (BIC: RZSTAT2G). Other official e-billing identifiers (school number/UID) are published for administrative billing. Payments by bank transfer/SEPA and direct debit are the established methods shown; credit-card payment is not listed in the published fee information.

Brief summary of available figures and remaining items not explicitly published

- Published tuition: none (state school – no tuition charge). Foundation membership: published amount EUR 450 per child per school year (published figure relates to the school-year information available in the school's fee material). IB/pre-IB assessment fee: EUR 50 per candidate (non-refundable). IB examination, assessment and textbook costs are charged to parents but exact IB exam price components are not listed in the school's public fee statements.

- The school's published material does not contain a full term-by-term fee table labelled for the 2026/27 academic year; the membership figure above appears in the published information for earlier school-year material and the IB assessment fee is given in the IB-admission information. The school's published material does not list a boarding charge (no boarding programme), does not publish a compulsory uniform fee, and does not publish a universal refund schedule beyond the stated non-refundable assessment fee.

Graz International Bilingual School (GIBS) is a state bilingual senior secondary school in Graz, Austria, offering a German‑English curriculum for students aged 10–18. The bilingual programme begins in Grade 5 and combines the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (Grades 11–12) with the Austrian Matura, so graduates earn both qualifications. German (A, B or Ab Initio) is obligatory, and the language of instruction is English, supported by a dedicated GIBS Foundation that funds language assistants and trips. Since January 2024 the school has charitable status. Located at Georgigasse 85, 8020 Graz, GIBS has more than 600 students and 60+ staff, and an on‑site library with an online catalogue. IB facilities include an Office, a Physics Lab, and dedicated classrooms; a gym, motor‑skills playground, and inclusive wheelchair basketball support sport. After‑school care (ACE), activities such as Gardening, Choir and Adventure Gym, intercultural projects, exchanges, and a strong CAS program enrich the curriculum here.
