Tuition fee for category III - pupils (private pupils)
The tuition fee for category III pupils is annually adjusted and determined by the Board of Governors of the European Schools (BOG).
The amount of the tuition fees as of school year 2025/2026 is as follows:
- Kindergarten 4.370,39 €
- Primary School 6.009,36 €
- Secondary School 8.194,57 €
A 2% increase is expected for the 2026/2027 school year.
Procedure for families with several children:
- First child: The full tuition fee must be paid for the child who is currently in the highest school level.
- Second child: 80 % of the normal tuition fee that applies to the child's current school level.
- Three children or more: 60 % of the normal tuition fee according to the child's current school level.
The payment of school tuition fees for 2025/2026 is as follows:
- before 30/06/2025: payment in full or at least 25 % (if instalments are arranged). Admission for this school year is only possible if there is no delay in the payment of at least 25 %. This prepayment cannot be refunded.
- before 31/10/2025: payment of the remaining 75 % and of the other fees (photo copies, insurance, Baccalaureate exam fee etc.)
Already enrolled children must be deregistered in writing no later than 15 May in order to avoid having to pay the deposit fee for the next school year.
Tuition fee reduction
A tuition fee reduction can be requested from the Director. The processing of this request requires a close examination of the current income situation. Please take note that the income limits are set very low. Regardless of the income levels, the minimum tuition fee is 25 % of the regular tuition fee.
