Support, school day & campus
What day, five-day and full boarding includeThe 2026/27 schedule separates all three attendance models.
What day, five-day and full boarding include
The 2026/27 schedule separates all three attendance models. Required textbooks, course-specific outings and teacher-led tutorial help three times weekly are included across the models; day pupils also receive breakfast and lunch on school days. Full boarding includes accommodation and meals seven days a week outside vacations, two multi-day fall/winter excursions, five ski or snowboard day trips, and the listed weekend and afternoon activities. Five-day boarding covers Monday–Friday accommodation and meals outside vacations. Excursion and ski-trip participation for five-day boarders and day pupils is listed among optional charges, so the full-boarding travel package should not be assumed for them. The 5% returning-pupil tuition reduction requires an agreement submitted before 1 July 2026 and full payment before 1 August 2026.

One-time capital levy for new enrolment
| Capital levy — newly enrolled pupil; payable once for siblings | €2,500 |
|---|
The levy is non-transferable and non-refundable. A family with more than one pupil pays it only once. A pupil who has paid the levy, leaves and returns within 24 months is not charged it again. This is separate from the application fee and tuition. Ask the school whether VAT is included.

Additional required charges by attendance and participation
| Physical-education uniform set — required of all pupils | €100 |
|---|---|
| Laundry — required of full and five-day boarders | €400 |
| Athletics — only pupils participating in competitive sports teams | €250 |
| Public transport pass (Klimaticket S) — required of full and five-day boarders | €300 |
The schedule lists these charges outside tuition for 2026/27 but does not state how often each recurs; confirm replacement or renewal costs before budgeting later years. Laundry can be charged against the incidentals account, so the account payment and spending from it must not be counted twice. Non-EU pupils also need Austrian health insurance for their visa; the school does not publish its price here. Ask the school whether VAT is included.

Boarding incidentals account
| Incidentals account — required of full and five-day boarders | €2,000 |
|---|
The fund pays incidental costs such as at-cost activities, equipment rental, pocket money, exam fees and laundry. Statements are issued and replenishment is requested when the balance is low. Only the unused balance is returned at year end or carried forward to the next enrolment year. The €2,000 payment is not added again to the costs paid from the account and does not establish a complete first-year budget.

Optional weekend stays for five-day boarders
| Weekend overnight stay for a five-day boarder — per weekend | €60 |
|---|---|
| Overnight stay for a five-day boarder — per day | €30 |
These optional stays are charged to the incidentals account. The schedule lists €60 per weekend or €30 per day; these are alternative billing units, not two charges to add together. They do not change the annual five-day boarding tuition.

Application and budget details
Admissions considers English proficiency, previous academic work, confidential recommendations and the pupil’s readiness for university preparation. Maturity and agreement with school expectations also matter. An interview may be used. Strong grades alone do not establish eligibility for a place or readiness for residential life.
