School fees

As a state-approved private school we charge an income-related tuition fee in order to close the gap between actual costs and state subsidies. Tuition will be calculated on the basis of the joint annual income of the custodial parents or contract partners, regardless of the country in which the income was earned. As a tuition fee assessment base for the coming school year we use the annual gross income of the calendar year before. The annual gross income of the previous calendar year is always used as the basis of assessment for the coming school year and subsequently recalculated for each school year. You have the option of calculating the monthly school fees yourself using our school fee calculator: https://www.platanus-schule.de/en/gemeinschaftsschule/kosten/. There you will find more important information on further costs and possible discounts.
