It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Watch an information session recording or visit us during an open house (recommended). Next open house dates are March and April 2026. 2. Create a LabCompanion account (desktop computer only) and complete essential information about your child in the online enrollment tool (birth date, grade, report card, etc.). 3. Pay the 100€ application fee. This amount is deducted from the enrollment fee and paying allows you to book an online appointment with school leadership and a discovery day at school for your child.
Rates for the 2026-2027 academic year are between 1,560€ and 2,350€ per month per child (or 15,600€ to 23,500€ per year) since the school is private and non-profit and receives no state subsidies. The school uses income-based rate bands to determine financial aid; to request aid, an application is submitted and reviewed by the financial committee, which determines the rate band based on the parents' financial situation, with taxable income as an indicator but not the sole factor. The number of spots per rate band is limited to maintain financial stability, and rate bands are determined during enrollment. Fee payments can be made monthly over 10 months (September to June) or in one full payment with a 5% discount if paid before 31 July. A sibling discount of 5% applies to the enrollment of the second child, and 10% for every additional child. Additional costs include 100€ per student for the application, 20€ per family for the Lab School Association, 25€ per student for yearly field trips, 600€ per student enrollment fees, and 280€ per student for re-enrollment.
