Combined annual school and sponsoring fees; preschool has a separate schedule.
Source ↗2026/27 school-campus totals combine the annual School Fee and Sponsoring Fee; Kindergarten covers ages 5–6 and preschool has a separate schedule. Individuals pay an additional €1,700 enrolment fee annually during their first three years; company-funded enrolment is €5,100 once, with prior payments credited for returning students. Application costs €55 per family. The €2,000 non-refundable reservation payment is credited towards tuition, so it is not another €2,000 to add to the full-year fee. Instalment payment adds €200 per year. Meals, trips, holiday care and IB examinations are separate.

Preschool and school-campus fee categories
The 2026/27 preschool schedule separates ages 1–3 and 3–5 at the Preschool Campus from Kindergarten ages 5–6 at the School Campus. Its annual totals combine the School Fee and Sponsoring Fee; entry charges remain additional. The €2,000 reservation payment is non-refundable but credited towards tuition, so it must not be added again to the full tuition total. The document gives the same August-to-June entry-percentage schedule as the school-campus tariff; confirm the percentage applicable to the child’s actual start.

Which fee components can receive financial assistance

Families must submit an application and evidence of income. The existence of this route does not establish an individual family’s award or a universal discounted tuition rate.
