Fees
Application / admission fee
- A one-time admission fee of EUR 150.00 is required at enrollment; this fee is collected in cash at registration (an exception applies if the signed school contract was already submitted by an earlier date).

Tuition fees (by school year)
- The school charges a recurring monthly school contribution. Specific tuition amounts broken down by year group, per term, or per full academic year are not published in the school's publicly available registration documents; parents are required to request the exact monthly contribution directly from the school.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The recurring tuition is described as a monthly school contribution. A completed SEPA mandate is required as part of the registration paperwork, indicating that payment by SEPA direct debit is a standard collection method. The school confirms that a pupil's place becomes secure only after a signed school contract is returned. For the school's notebook orders, the invoice is issued after delivery.

Boarding (internat) fees
- No boarding or residential/internat provision or boarding fees are listed for the Reinsdorf schools; the Reinsdorf schools operate as day schools with full-day programmes and on-site midday catering. No public boarding fee schedule is available.

Other costs and typical additional charges
- School clothing: SIS school clothing is required/worn by pupils and may be purchased through approved regional partners (Edelwäsche Fischer and Intersport); prices are set and billed by those suppliers.
- Meals: The schools provide freshly prepared midday meals from their own kitchen; charges for school meals are handled separately and are not itemized in the registration documents.
- Notebook / device costs: A centrally organised “Notebookprojekt” supplies school notebooks; devices are provided after order and an invoice is issued to the parent after delivery. Leih devices are available in limited numbers; free for the first month and subject to a monthly charge thereafter. Warranty repair procedures and responsibility for insurance of privately purchased devices are specified; parents are advised to maintain private electronics insurance for devices they purchase.
- Transport / pupil conveyance: Organized pupil transport and related forms exist; families may incur separate transport or subscription charges (e.g., tickets, zone subscriptions) that are managed independently and can carry their own payment and refund rules.

Refunds and cancellations
- No publicly posted, itemised school tuition refund or cancellation schedule for recurring school contributions is included in the registration documents available for Reinsdorf. For device-related matters, manufacturer warranties and the notebook project's repair and loan rules are documented (warranty repairs handled under manufacturer terms; private insurance recommended for accidental damage/theft). Specific refund terms for tuition, meal plans, transport subscriptions or other fees are not published in the registration materials.

Accepted payment methods and practical payment notes
- A SEPA direct-debit mandate is part of the registration paperwork and is used for regular fee collection. The admission fee (EUR 150) is explicitly collected in cash at registration in the form provided for new pupils. Notebooks are invoiced after delivery (invoice payment methods for that invoice are those stated on the notebook invoice). No publicly posted references to payment by credit card or alternative online payment methods are included in the registration documents.

Brief note on publicly available information and remaining details
- Public registration and download documents for the Reinsdorf schools list the EUR 150 admission fee, require a SEPA mandate, and confirm a monthly school contribution exists, but they do not publish the actual tuition amounts by year group, term, or full year, nor do they publish a detailed tuition refund policy or a term-by-term billing schedule. For those specific numeric tuition figures, billing-cycle details, and any formal written refund/cancellation clauses, the school's registration materials instruct parents to obtain the monthly school contribution and contractual conditions directly from the school's administration.

History

The International Secondary School Reinsdorf is part of Saxony International School – Carl Hahn gGmbH, a privately run network of international schools in Saxony. The Reinsdorf campus operates as a state-recognized alternative school, teaching according to the Saxon curriculum and ensuring pupils take the same state examinations as other grammar and secondary schools in Saxony. The school is located at Mittlerer Schulweg 13, 08141 Reinsdorf, and shares facilities with the International Gymnasium Reinsdorf as part of the local school network.

Motivated students can prepare for the International Baccalaureate (IB) in addition to the German Abitur.

Community

The school's mission emphasizes cosmopolitanism, values and norms, a solid general education, foreign language skills and media and business competence; holistic education means learning with head, heart and hand. The school hosts events such as Erasmus exchanges with Spain and career-orientation activities like a forest excursion for seventh graders, as well as regional football tournaments. An open day and Herbstfest is scheduled for November 20, 2026, from 15:00 to 18:00. There are opportunities for parent involvement through parent activities and a Parents' Association.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

The School Support Association of the International Schools Reinsdorf e.V. (Förderverein der Internationalen Schulen Reinsdorf e.V.) supports education by financing additional projects and assisting families who cannot shoulder the private school costs. Membership, donations, and volunteering help fund books, interactive learning boards and computer technology, and donations from parents and others help sustain projects. The association provides contact details and banking information for donations and ongoing support, and is chaired by Ina Pampel. There are explicit explanations of why association involvement matters and who can participate, including opportunities to support with events, work tasks, or other contributions. Membership and active participation are encouraged to meet the school's educational goals.
