Fees
Application fees
- No application or enrolment fee is published for the Greek Gymnasium–Lyceum of Dortmund for the 2026/27 academic year (and no public fee schedule for 2025/26 is available).

Tuition fees (by year / term / year group)
- There is no publicly‑available schedule of tuition fees by year group or by term for the school for 2026/27 (or for 2025/26). The school is a recognised Greek Ergänzungsschule (Greek gymnasium/lyceum) in Dortmund. Public records show operating support from the Greek authorities rather than a standard published parental tuition schedule; a past public grant record lists €20,700 for the school in a Greek government document. No separate per‑student tuition amounts, per‑term billing amounts, or year‑group fee bands are published.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- No published billing schedule, instalment timetable, deadline policy, or parent payment terms were found for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 year. No mandatory dates or instalment breakdowns for parents are available in the public information.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The school is operated as an Ergänzungsschule/day school in Dortmund and no boarding provision or boarding fees are published or described. Boarding is not applicable.

Other costs (uniforms, materials, trips, exams, extracurriculars)
- There is no publicly‑published mandatory uniform fee, school uniform policy with cost, or comprehensive list of per‑pupil materials fees. No standard, published charges for routine materials, excursions, exam fees or extracurricular modules are available in the school's public information. Individual activities (excursions, special events or optional modules) may have separate, ad‑hoc charges, but no standing fee schedule for those items is published.

Refund information
- There is no publicly‑available refund policy or formal schedule of refunds for tuition, registration, or activity fees published for this school.

Fee payment options (credit card, bank transfer, cash, etc.)
- No published parent payment methods (credit card, direct debit, cash policies) are listed for parental payments. Public records that list banking details refer to institutional/grant banking (Sparkasse Dortmund IBAN listed in a Greek government funding document) rather than a parental payment gateway; those bank details appear in the context of public grants and institutional receipts.

Practical note for parents summarising the public fee position
- There is no publicly‑published application fee, published per‑year or per‑term tuition schedule, boarding fees, uniform charge schedule, billing calendar, refund policy, or parent payment method for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) academic year. The school is a recognised Greek Ergänzungsschule in Dortmund and appears to receive institutional support from Greek government funds, as recorded in public grant documents. For any mandatory parental payment items that might be applied locally (for example ad‑hoc excursion fees or materials contributions), the school's published contact details and registration office are the primary channels listed in public records.

The 3rd Gymnasium class formed a creative team and, with teachers, produced a Storymap on Dortmund's urban transformation following the Phoenix East and Phoenix West steelworks closures, titled 'Dortmund (Hörde): The Transformation of a City: From center of metalworking to model of a sustainable city.' The project was prepared in Greek and German and supervised by the school's Greek-language teacher, Ms. Vasiliki Chrysanthakopoulou. Free digital tools supported the project, enabling weekly teacher seminars, field visits, script development, digital maps, photographs, and multimodal texts, promoting collaborative, inquiry-based learning and connections with the German community and with Greece through the competition.
