- For use of the internal Hort (after‑school care) the family must obtain a Hortgutschein (voucher) from the Jugendamt; where a voucher covers a child the care is provided without parental charge for the specified times. If a parent is charged (no valid voucher or for services beyond voucher coverage), billing and payment terms are set by the Hort operator (tjfbg gGmbH).

Other costs and fees

Lunch must be pre-ordered via the caterer's parent portal using the school's schulkürzel; the caterer issues the meal and billing according to its ordering and payment process. Temporary or permanent withdrawal from the lunch service requires cancellation with the caterer by the end of the month.

- Hort / After‑school care: The in‑school Hort is coordinated by tjfbg gGmbH and operates three modules (early, middle, late). For children with an approved Jugendamt Hortgutschein the listed core Hort provision for years 1–3 (regular branch) and for all SESB classes is provided without parental charge; families without a valid voucher or requiring extra, chargeable services will be billed by the Hort operator.

Membership contributions are collected by the Förderverein to fund activities, materials and school projects; payment and collection arrangements are handled by the Förderverein.

- School merchandise / uniform: The Förderverein operates a schoolshop for branded school clothing and merchandise; prices for items are set in the shop and purchased directly through that shop.

- Optional activities, trips and materials: Field trips, project costs, special materials or external activity fees may be charged separately when applicable; these optional charges are billed individually (by the school, external providers or the Förderverein) as required. The Förderverein also supports and finances optional projects that may otherwise require parental contributions.

Refund information

- There is no school-wide tuition refund policy because the school does not charge tuition. Refunds or cancellations for paid services are handled according to the terms of the specific external provider: for lunch, cancellation must be made with the caterer by the end of the month; for Hort or other paid services, refunds and cancellation conditions are governed by the Hort operator or provider. For Förderverein contributions, membership administration and any refund questions are handled by the Förderverein.

Fee payment options

- Core school services require no payment. Paid services are transacted directly with the external provider responsible for that service: lunches are ordered and paid through the Luna parent ordering portal; Hort charges (if applicable) are coordinated through the Hort operator (tjfbg) and any parental contributions are collected as per that operator's procedure; Förderverein contributions are collected by the association through its membership process. Parents follow the payment methods and schedules specified by those providers.
