Fees
Annual tuition at Swedish School in Berlin ranges from EUR 1,200 to EUR 6,900 for 2026/27.
Application fees
- There is no separate application fee published for enrolment; no fixed ‘‘ansökningsavgift'' amount is listed in the school's publicly available enrolment documents.
Tuition fees (by month and by year per child)
- For families who HAVE been granted state subsidy ("statsbidrag/school allowance") the monthly tuition bands are: 330 EUR, 250 EUR or 120 EUR depending on the family's annual gross income. Annual tuition is calculated as the monthly amount multiplied by 10 (monthly × 10 months). For example: 330 EUR/month = EUR 3,300 per year (330 × 10). For each additional sibling a half-fee is charged.
- For families who HAVE NOT been granted state subsidy, the monthly tuition bands are: 480 EUR, 410 EUR or 220 EUR depending on the family's annual gross income. Annual tuition is the monthly amount multiplied by 10. For each additional sibling a half-fee is charged (sibling discount does not apply when the fee is paid by a company/organization).
- For places where a company, authority, municipality or organisation pays the school fee, the published rate is EUR 6,900 per child and per year; these fees are usually invoiced either for the full year or half-year. No sibling discount is applied in this payer category.
- The school's day-school provision covers children aged approximately 6–12 years (grundskola F–6). The published tuition bands apply per child (they are not published as differing rates per individual year group/grade). To obtain a per-term figure you should multiply the monthly fee by the number of months in that term; the school's published model is monthly billing over 10 months and the annual amount is defined as monthly × 10.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Private-paying families normally pay the school fee monthly over 10 months; the annual fee is calculated as the chosen monthly amount × 10. Companies/organisations that pay typically settle either the full year or half-year invoicing. The school applies a stepped-reduction model for private-paying families based on gross family income. If a child starts in the spring term, no reduction of the school fee for that term is granted (spring-term starters do not receive the pro rata reduction).
Boarding fees
- There is no boarding provision; the school operates as a day school (dagskola). No boarding fees are published.

Refunds and cancellation
- The formal cancellation (avanmälan/uppsägning) form specifies that the last date to cancel a pupil place prior to the autumn term is April 30. The published fee pages note that no reduction is given for children who start in the spring term for that term. A detailed line-by-line refund schedule (for example, prorated refunds after term start) is not published among the standard fee documents; cancellations and their financial consequences are handled via the school's contract/cancellation procedures.
Fee payment options (methods)
- The school publishes bank-transfer details (Deutsche Bank IBAN and BIC) for payments; the price-list document includes IBAN: DE18 1007 0124 0034 3137 00 and BIC: DEUTDEDB101. No public reference to credit-card payment or online-card processing is given in the standard fee documents. Invoicing frequency is as noted above (monthly over 10 months for private payers; company invoices commonly full- or half-year).
Quick calculation examples
- Family with state subsidy and gross income over EUR 50,001: 330 EUR/month → EUR 3,300 per year (330 × 10). - Family without state subsidy and gross income over EUR 50,001: 480 EUR/month → EUR 4,800 per year (480 × 10). - Company-paid place: EUR 6,900 per year (no sibling discount).
