Conditional example: €593 per month × 12 in 2026/27. Fees depend on parental income and school stage. The dated PDF takes precedence over older figures on admissions pages.

Ask whether registration, meals, transport, learning support and boarding are included. A fee for one year group may not apply to another.

German and English through to the Abitur

The campus starts at age two and continues through primary and secondary school to the German Abitur. Native-speaking teachers use German and English through immersion: children hear and use the languages during everyday learning. The school describes project work, digital skills and creative problem solving as part of its approach. The reviewed page does not give a fixed maximum pupil age.

Trial days differ by school stage

Primary Year 1 applicants attend a trial day. Higher primary years may require an entrance assessment and five trial days. Secondary applicants provide their last three reports, attend a meeting and may take an entrance test before three trial days. German proficiency is required in every secondary year group, so an English-speaking background alone does not establish eligibility.

Check language readiness and individual needs

Bilingual teaching is part of the whole school programme. Families should discuss the child’s German and English experience before applying, particularly for secondary entry. The reviewed material does not establish the level or capacity of specialist learning support. Provide existing assessments and ask what help can be agreed for the intended class rather than assuming that bilingual teaching includes individual language tuition.

An all-day school community in Berlin-Mitte

The Berlin-Mitte campus brings kindergarten, primary and secondary education into one school community. The official page describes around 950 children and students and an all-day programme. A visit should cover the spaces used by the child’s stage, daily collection arrangements and the separate after-school care contract. Confirm the current timetable and included activities directly.

Income bands and twelve monthly payments

The dated 2026/27 regulations use twelve monthly instalments starting in August. The annual figures shown here are monthly tuition multiplied by twelve. Families below €50,000 income have reduced ranges requiring an individual calculation. Fees below the top band need income documentation, based on the stated reference year of 2024. Admission normally costs 2.5 monthly fees; the lowest income band has a reduced rule. Food, supplies, uniform, trips and some care or clubs add to tuition.

A separate process for younger pupils

For primary entry, ask the admissions team which trial-day route applies and how previous reports will be reviewed. The primary and secondary processes are different. The price table on the web admissions pages differs from the dated 2026/27 PDF; use the PDF and request a written calculation for your household before accepting an offer.
