Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application fees

- No one‑time application or admissions fee is charged for general enrolment at Leibniz‑Gymnasium Dortmund | International School. The school is a state (public) gymnasium and does not levy tuition or standard application charges for attendance.

Tuition fees by year group

- There is no tuition charged by year group. Attendance at the Leibniz‑Gymnasium (state school) is not subject to annual or termly tuition payments.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- For regular schooling (classroom instruction and participation in the state curriculum) there is no billing schedule because no tuition is charged.

- For the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme: students who choose to register for IB examinations are registered by the school at a defined point in the course cycle (the school's IB coordinator makes the formal candidate registration in October of the second year of the Diploma cycle). Schools and the IB charge assessment/registration fees for IB candidature and for individual assessed subjects; those assessment fees are billed according to the IB's and the school's procedure at the time of registration. Expect IB assessment/registration billing to occur during the Diploma registration period in the second year (Q2).

- After‑school supervision/childcare run by the school's Förderverein (see “Other costs”) is billed as a monthly contribution for the full school year under a Betreuung (care) contract; that contract specifies the payment schedule and contract duration. The standard contribution amounts published for the Förderverein's Übermittagsbetreuung are: EUR 50 per month for full weekly coverage (daily from about 12:30 to 15:30) or EUR 30 per month for a three‑day‑per‑week model; reduced concession rates (EUR 15 / EUR 10 per month) are shown for families receiving certain social benefits. The Betreuung contract covers the full school year and sets the notice/termination conditions.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- Boarding fees: not applicable. The IB database and the school record the Leibniz‑Gymnasium as a day school (no boarding facilities).

Other costs and typical incidental charges

- School‑supplies and consumables: parents normally pay for personal learning materials such as exercise books, pens, stationery, calculators, and classroom-specific consumables when required; these are routine, variable household school costs rather than school tuition.

- Class trips, excursions and project costs: costs for school trips and off‑site projects are typically charged to participating families (amounts vary by trip). The school lists school trips and related activities among normal school life items.

- Cafeteria / small purchases: the school's Förderverein operates the cafeteria / kiosk where students may purchase snacks; these purchases are paid by families as consumed. The Förderverein also administers the after‑school supervision described above.

- IB Diploma related costs: schools and the IB charge assessment/subject and registration fees for IB Diploma candidates (the IB publishes candidate/subject and other assessment fees). In comparable German state IB schools, families commonly meet a one‑time or per‑session IB examination charge for a full Diploma cohort; examples at other state gymnasia have shown total IB examination costs in the approximate range of EUR 600–EUR 650 per full Diploma candidate in past practice (amounts and collection practice vary by school and fiscal year). Expect a billed IB assessment obligation at or before the formal IB registration for examination.

- Voluntary contributions and Förderverein membership: voluntary donations, membership contributions to the Förderverein, or fundraising participation are separate from formal fees; such contributions support materials, projects and supervised services. The Förderverein is the operator of several school services and publishes the conditions and contribution amounts for its care services.

Refund information

- Tuition refund: not applicable (no tuition charged).

- After‑school care (Förderverein) contract: the Betreuung contract runs for the school year; the published terms state that the contract normally ends at the last day of the school year and that a general early termination is not provided for, though extraordinary termination dates and conditions are specified in the contract (the contract and digital registration describe the notice windows and exceptional termination rules). Refunds or partial refunds of already‑paid monthly contributions depend on the Betreuung contract terms.

- IB assessment and examination fees: refunds or adjustments for paid IB assessment fees follow IB and school rules. The IB publishes assessment fee types (candidate registration and per‑subject assessment fees) and schools manage registration and payment; whether any part of an IB assessment payment is refundable (and the timing/conditions) is determined by the IB's assessment rules and by the school's invoicing/collection practice. Families should expect IB assessment fees to be treated according to IB and school policy and to be invoiced at registration.

Fee payment options

- For the components that do carry charges at Leibniz‑Gymnasium (for example: the Förderverein's after‑school supervision contribution, cafeteria purchases, IB assessment fees where applicable), billing and payment are handled through the responsible body (the Förderverein for after‑school care; the school IB coordination/accounting for IB registration/assessment billing). The Förderverein uses a digital registration and a Betreuung contract process for after‑school services; the contract sets the payment terms. Expect standard German payment methods (bank transfer/SEPA and similar electronic payment arrangements) to be used for recurring programme contributions; one‑off purchases at the cafeteria are typically paid at point of sale. Exact accepted payment methods for any billed item are specified in the relevant contract or invoice.
