Fees

Annual tuition at ISR International School on the Rhine ranges from EUR 14,140 to EUR 21,050 for 2026/27.

Application fees
- No fixed, publicly listed application, assessment or one-time registration fee amount is published; the school requires completion of an applicant questionnaire and provides the specific admission-related charges after the application is processed.

Tuition fees (by year group, per term and per year)
- ISR does not publish a public, grade-by-grade fee table showing exact per-term and per-year amounts. Fees vary by grade level and campus.
- Third-party listings report typical annual tuition ranges for ISR in the region at approximately EUR 13,000 to EUR 20,000 per year depending on the student's grade/program; those listings do not provide an official per-term breakdown from the school. Use the listed annual range only as an indicative guide because no official per-term/per-grade schedule is published publicly.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- No standard public billing schedule (for example fixed invoice dates or a published instalment calendar) is provided in the school's publicly available fee materials. The school states that tuition funds all operations and that specific fee amounts are communicated to families through the application/admissions process.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The school's public fee information does not include a published boarding programme fee schedule. Some external listings include boarding figures (for example one third-party listing shows an annual boarding amount for older grades), but there is no boarding fee table published in the school's public fee materials.

Other costs and typical additional charges
- Additional costs commonly associated with attendance that are referenced in public materials and third-party summaries include: school meals/catering, school-bus transport, textbooks and learning materials, examination fees (external examinations where applicable), extracurricular activity fees, and school uniform or merchandise. Specific prices for these items are not presented in a public fee table.
- Summer-school and short programme charges are published for those separate programmes; a published past Summer School contract shows programme fees by package and a stated enrollment cancellation fee of EUR 50 for that programme. These programme charges are separate from standard tuition.

Refund information
- No public, detailed refund or withdrawal schedule for regular tuition (percent refunds by notice period) is published in the school's publicly available fee material. A published Summer School contract includes a specific small cancellation fee for that programme, but a comprehensive tuition refund table is not published in the publicly available fee pages.

Fee payment options
- The school's public fee pages do not publish a definitive list of accepted payment channels (for example which credit cards, electronic payment portals or the exact bank-transfer details are used). Payment methods and invoicing arrangements are provided to families through the admissions/accounting process.

Summary statement for database use
- ISR operates on tuition funding that varies by grade and campus; the school does not publish a public, grade-by-grade per-term and per-year fee schedule. Approximate annual tuition ranges reported by third-party sources are EUR 13,000–EUR 20,000, and some third-party listings include separate boarding figures for older grades. Specific application, instalment, refund and payment-method details are communicated to applicants through the school's admissions/accounting process rather than in a public fee table.
