Admission processes at Phorms Campus Hamburg are described for Daycare, Primary School and Secondary School. Online registration is non-binding and reviewed to discuss next steps. Daycare: online registration, personal introduction, and notification of place availability; a child can be admitted at any time during the current daycare year, depending on availability. Costs for the day care centre and preschool can be covered by a City of Hamburg day-care voucher; the parental contribution is set via a Friends' Association and depends on hours and family income. The monthly Friends' Association membership for children in the day care centre before entering preschool is €128; from preschool onward, the fee is based on income and equals 0.315% of the income reported two years prior (for 2025/26). There is a one-off admission fee of 1% of the family's income, less a €250 administration fee. Tax deductibility applies to parental contributions and Friends' Association fees up to two-thirds.
