Fees
Application fees

- No separate application or non‑refundable enrolment fee is listed in the school's published fee regulations for the Potsdam campus.

Tuition (Schulgeld) — structure and how it is set

- Tuition is income‑dependent: the amount of school fees is calculated on the basis of the parents' (or guardians') declared household income and assigned from a school fee schedule. Tuition is charged for 12 months and is treated as an ongoing monthly obligation; started months count as full months.

Tuition — payment schedule and billing terms

- Billing is by 12 monthly instalments and the school collects fees by SEPA direct debit each month (withdrawal date is specified in the fee rules: Grundschule collections are scheduled on the 30th of the prior month; the comprehensive school (Gesamtschule) collections are scheduled on the 29th of the prior month). If direct debit is not used the monthly amount must be transferred to the school's business account by the 1st of each month. The school provides specific IBAN/BIC account details for payments in the fee regulations.

- Bank details published in the fee regulations (use the account matching the unit invoicing you receive):
- Grundschule (account shown for school fee payments): IBAN DE51 7015 0000 2300 28, BIC SSKMDEMM.
- Gesamtschule (account shown for school fee payments): IBAN DE51 7015 0000 1009 2297 80, BIC SSKMDEMM.

Tuition amounts by year group

- The school does not publish fixed, per‑grade annual tuition figures. Instead, tuition is set individually from the income‑based fee schedule (the Schulgeldtabelle) after parents submit the required income information. Because tuition is assessed by income bracket, there are no universal per‑year fixed values to list. The fee rules explain the income‑based assessment and the requirement to provide income documentation.

Daycare / Children's House (Kita) and after‑school (Hort) contribution schedule

- Daycare and after‑school contributions are published as a monthly contribution table that varies by the family's adjusted annual gross income and by the daily care hours selected. The table lists monthly amounts separately for Krippe (crèche), Kindergarten and Hort with columns for typical care durations (Krippe: up to 6 h, up to 8 h, up to 10 h; Kindergarten: up to 6 h, up to 8 h, up to 10 h; Hort: up to 4 h, up to 6 h, up to 8 h). The contributions are stated as monthly amounts in EUR.

- Costs for excursions, class trips, school clothing, supervised class funds and similar are charged separately as required. Meals and locker use are arranged and billed under separate contracts.

Boarding

- No boarding provision is shown for the Potsdam campus; the published materials and documents describe daycare, primary and comprehensive day‑school provision only. Boarding fees are therefore not applicable.

Refunds and reductions

- Absence, school holidays or temporary closure do not entitle parents to a reduction of the monthly school fee. One‑off fees are not refunded in the case of a premature, mid‑year school withdrawal. Fee reductions, sibling discounts or exemptions can be granted in individual cases at the discretion of school management but must be applied for in writing.

Failed payments / returned direct debit

- If a direct debit cannot be collected, the resulting bank fees and collection costs are charged to parents. The published fee rules set a charge for each subsequent collection attempt (Grundschule: EUR 10 per new collection attempt; Gesamtschule: EUR 4.50 per new collection attempt).

Fee payment options

- Standard payment method is SEPA direct debit (Lastschrift). If direct debit is not used or cannot be collected, the monthly amount must be transferred to the business account specified in the school's fee rules (IBAN/BIC given in the fee regulations for the relevant unit). Meal contracts and other optional services are billed separately and typically follow their own payment arrangements.

Summary note

- Tuition for the primary and comprehensive schools at the Potsdam campus is set according to family income and paid in 12 monthly instalments; additional small annual or one‑off charges apply for books, digital media, classroom materials and device support; daycare and after‑school contributions are published as a detailed monthly contribution table that varies by income bracket and by the number of care hours chosen.
