Application fee
- There is no separate, published one‑time application fee shown for enrollment. Registration requires completing the online or PDF application form and submitting the listed documents (education recommendation, transition form, birth certificate, passport photo, etc.).

Tuition / School contribution (by year group and per term)
- A monthly school contribution (Schulbeitrag) is charged for enrolled pupils. The school contribution is billed on a monthly basis rather than per term.

Parents are informed of the applicable monthly contribution during the enrolment/contract process.

Meal orders are managed on an online ordering system with stated booking and cancellation deadlines (orders must be placed by Wednesday of the previous week 24:00; cancellations may be made until 08:00 on the meal day). Other charges (school clothing, boarding, extracurriculars, trips) are invoiced separately according to the relevant service provider or contract.

Boarding fees (where applicable)
- Boarding and supervised residential accommodation are provided for international students through the International Student House (ISH) concept (ISH Glauchau apartment house with 24‑hour care and two‑bed apartments). Boarding accommodation and services are operated and billed separately from the monthly school contribution; specific boarding rates and billing arrangements are not published in the public information.
