Fees
Application fees

- The school does not publish a fixed application or registration fee amount for TRIAS Oberschule / TRIAS Gymnasium Elsterberg. The registration page states that the monthly school contribution amount must be requested directly from the school.

Tuition fees (per year group / per term / per month)

- No published schedule of tuition amounts by year group, per term, or per month is available for TRIAS Oberschule Elsterberg or TRIAS Gymnasium Elsterberg. The school's registration information indicates that a monthly school contribution applies and that the specific monthly amount is provided by the school on request.

- Practices across the Saxony International School network vary by site; other schools in the network also require parents to request the monthly contribution from the local school. For example, the registration pages of other SIS schools similarly instruct parents to call the respective school to enquire about the monthly school fee.

- As an illustration of fee levels at one network school (not Elsterberg), the International Primary School Stollberg has been reported to charge Schulgeld starting at €130 per month; fee levels differ by school and are set locally. This illustrates that monthly contributions in the network can start in the low hundreds of euros, but such figures are not published for Elsterberg.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school's public materials do not publish a standard billing schedule, invoice sample, or explicit payment-terms table for Elsterberg (for example, whether fees are billed monthly, termly or annually, payment deadlines, or late-payment penalties). The registration pages instruct parents to obtain the monthly school contribution and contract details from the school.

- Billing and payment practices appear to be determined locally at each SIS school; some other SIS sites and related schools mention installment or rate options in their separate fee documents, so billing frequency and instalment options may vary between campuses.

Boarding / residential fees

- There is no information on a boarding (Internat) programme for TRIAS Oberschule or TRIAS Gymnasium Elsterberg. The school pages and programme descriptions do not list boarding or residential accommodation as part of the Elsterberg offer. Transportation and day‑services are described, but no boarding fees are published.

Other costs and fees (uniform, meals, transport, trips, materials)

- Uniform / school clothing:
- The Saxony International School association uses a uniform / school clothing concept and SIS school clothing is offered through a retail partner (Intersport GÜ‑Sport / associated online shop). School‑clothing items are available to purchase and the partner accepts common online payment methods (for example PayPal, credit card, prepayment, direct debit) via the shop. Specific uniform price lists for Elsterberg are not published on the school pages; uniform costs are charged at purchase as retail prices.

- School meals:
- School meals at Elsterberg are provided by an external caterer (Elli Spirelli). The meal service is organised by the school, but per‑meal or subscription prices are not published on the Elsterberg pages. Meal costs are therefore charged separately and must be confirmed directly with the school/caterer.

- Transport / school bus:
- Local public‑transport arrangements for pupil transport are managed by the Vogtlandkreis authority; the school operator also runs SIS school minibuses for nearby routes. Costs for public transport or school bus services are not listed on the school pages; any bus fees or subscription charges are handled by the transport authority or by the school's bus administrator.

- Educational materials, excursions and extracurricular activities:
- The school does not publish a single combined price that covers books, materials, trips or extracurricular activity fees for Elsterberg. Such items are typically charged separately where applicable; no consolidated per‑year or per‑term amounts for these items are published for Elsterberg.

Refund information and contract cancellation

- No publicly posted refund policy, cancellation table, or standard contract‑term summary is available on the Elsterberg registration pages. Contract terms (including any conditions for refunds or fee adjustments on withdrawal) are part of the school contract and are not published as a separate public fee/refund schedule for Elsterberg. Parents should obtain the written school contract for the precise refund and cancellation provisions.

Fee payment options (methods accepted)

- For school clothing purchased from the SIS partner shop, the online supplier accepts common retail e‑commerce payment methods (PayPal, credit card, prepayment / bank transfer, direct debit). Payment for clothing is handled through that retail channel.

- The Elsterberg school pages do not publish a definitive list of accepted payment methods for tuition, meals, transport or other school charges (for example, whether tuition is payable by bank transfer (Überweisung), SEPA mandate, direct debit, credit card, or standing order). The school's registration information indicates the monthly school contribution and contractual payment arrangements are provided locally on enrolment.

Contact details to request precise fee figures and contract terms

- TRIAS Oberschule / TRIAS Gymnasium Elsterberg — telephone and email contacts are provided on the school pages; parents can request the current monthly school contribution, billing schedule, payment methods and contract terms from the school administration by phone or email. Listed school contacts include the school phone and the TRIAS Elsterberg administration email.

Brief summary of findings and data gaps

- There is no published, itemised fee schedule (application fee, tuition by year group, per‑term amounts, or published refund policy) available for TRIAS Oberschule Elsterberg or TRIAS Gymnasium Elsterberg for the 2026/27 academic year (nor for 2025/26) in the school's public pages. The school's enrolment/registration pages explicitly instruct parents to request the monthly school contribution and related contract details directly from the school, and other SIS schools follow the same practice of setting fees locally. Where figures for other network schools are publicly reported (for example a network primary school with Schulgeld from €130/month), those are examples from different SIS locations and are not the published Elsterberg fees.
