Fees
Application fees

- A one-time admission/administration (Aufnahme-/Verwaltungs-) fee is payable at the time the school contract is signed. The amount is set individually and is not published as a fixed figure.

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

- Tuition is not published as fixed amounts per year group. Fees are calculated individually for each family on the basis of household circumstances (including gross income and family composition) rather than as a single public fee schedule. Tuition is charged as a recurring contribution and is commonly handled as monthly payments. There are no publicly posted, fixed per-term or per-year rates by year group.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Billing frequency: Tuition is payable monthly in advance.
- Due date: Monthly fees are due in advance by the 3rd day of each month.
- Late payment: If a payment is overdue by more than 7 days, a reminder fee of EUR 15 is charged per reminder; repeated non-payment may lead to termination of the school contract.
- Contractual commitment: Enrollment is confirmed and binding with the school's acceptance and payment of the admission fee.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- The school operates on a day-school schedule (regular teaching hours stated as Monday–Friday, approximately 09:00–16:00) and does not publish any boarding or internat offers or boarding fees. No boarding fee schedule is provided.

Other costs and fees

- One-off administration/registration fee: charged at contract signature (amount set individually).
- Annual service/IT fee: an annual service charge for provision and maintenance of technical equipment, software and related services is collected.
- Consumables and materials: Consumable teaching materials, specific classroom supplies and subject-related materials may be charged in addition to tuition.
- School clothing / uniform: Costs for school clothing (where applicable) are additional and charged separately.
- Excursions and class trips: Day trips and overnight class trips, project costs and similar activities are charged in addition to the regular tuition where applicable.
- Optional services and extras: Additional services (e.g., extended care/programmes beyond standard curriculum) may incur further charges.

Discounts and reductions

- Sibling discounts: The school applies a structured sibling discount: the eldest child pays the full contribution; the second child receives a 25% reduction; the third child a 50% reduction; and all further children a 75% reduction.
- Loyalty (Treue-) bonus: A loyalty reduction applies after continued attendance: a 10% reduction from year six, increasing to 20% from year ten. For lateral entrants beginning in grade 7 the loyalty bonus starts earlier (from year four).
- Means-tested support: Families with low income may apply for cost reductions, BuT (education-and-participation) support, or scholarship assistance according to need and merit.
- Tax treatment: Portions of the school costs may be tax-deductible under applicable tax rules.

Refunds and contract termination

- Termination deadline: Ordinary contract termination by parents must be submitted in writing and is possible with effect at the end of the school year; the written notice deadline is April 30 to terminate as of July 31 of that school year.
- Refunds: There is no separate publicly posted refund schedule. Because tuition is charged in advance and the contract specifies how and when it may be ended, refunds (if any) are governed by the contractual terms and the AGB; late fees and other contractual remedies for non-payment are explicitly recorded.

Fee payment options and methods

- Payment frequency and method: The school explicitly permits payment in monthly instalments and requires monthly advance payment by the stated due date. Specific accepted payment methods (for example bank transfer/SEPA, direct debit, credit card) are not published in the online terms; details of accepted payment channels are determined in the contractual arrangements.

Summary (practical takeaways for a parent)

- Expect an individually calculated tuition package rather than a single public fee table; budget for a one-time admission/administration fee at contract signing plus an annual IT/service charge and variable extras (materials, trips, clothing, optional programmes).
- Plan for monthly advance payments due by the 3rd of each month; allow for possible reminder charges (EUR 15) if a payment becomes overdue by more than seven days.
- The school applies structured sibling discounts and a loyalty bonus for continued attendance; support and means-tested reductions are available for families in need.
