Tuition fees — Kindergarten (detailed per trimester and annual total)

Fees are published per trimester and as an annual total for each daily schedule option. The published trimester values and annual totals are:

- Program end at 12:30:
- Trimester I = EUR 2,840; Trimester II = EUR 2,840; Trimester III = EUR 1,420; Annual total = EUR 7,100.

- Trimester I = EUR 3,960; Trimester II = EUR 3,960; Trimester III = EUR 1,980; Annual total = EUR 9,900.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Annual contributions for school programmes are billed and payable in three trimesters: Trimester 1 (4 months) due by 15 August; Trimester 2 (4 months) due by 15 December; Trimester 3 (2 months) due by 15 April. For kindergarten the published trimester amounts reflect this split; for the school programmes the trimester instalments above are the annual contribution apportioned to the same 4/4/2-month pattern. Book fees are charged in the first trimester or together with the annual contribution.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not offered; DSBU publishes fees for day kindergarten and day-school programmes only. There are no boarding fees listed.

Other costs and recurring charges

- Meals: The school includes three daily meals in the contribution, but two published language versions of the fee leaflet show different current meal cost figures: one language leaflet lists EUR 1,500 and the other lists EUR 1,200 as the current meal amount; meals are stated as included in the contribution. The two figures are taken from the school's published leaflets.

- Book and materials fee (Büchergeld):
- EUR 220 per year — Grundschule (primary).
- EUR 350 per year — Gymnasium (secondary).
- The book fee is charged in the first trimester or with the annual contribution.

- Excursions and day trips: Day excursions and most internal/external activities during the school year are included in the contributions; exceptions that carry additional costs require parental confirmation. Class trips (multi-day trips) are not included in the annual contribution and are billed separately.

- Transport: School transport is provided by an external bus company; transport cost depends on the pupil's place of residence and is billed separately.

- Sibling discount: A discount is applied for families with multiple children enrolled: from the second child both children receive a 5% reduction; each additional sibling receives a 10% reduction on the lowest applicable contribution.

Refund information

- The registration fee (school) is explicitly non-refundable. No detailed, published tuition-refund schedule or specific refund rules for pro‑rata refunds on departure are included in the published contribution leaflets.

Fee payment options (methods)

- The published contribution leaflets and the school's public admissions information do not specify payment methods (for example: bank transfer, credit card, direct debit) in the documents available with the fees information. Parents are directed to contact the school office for procedural details. The school contact details are published on the contact page.

Notes on presentation of term amounts

- Term instalments shown for the school programmes above are calculated by allocating the published annual contribution across the three trimesters in proportion to the school's stated trimester lengths (4 months / 4 months / 2 months) to provide per‑term figures consistent with the kindergarten trimester presentation. The school's published leaflets list the annual amounts and specify the trimester schedule.
