Tuition fees (by school year / per term / per month)

- The school charges a recurring monthly school contribution (Schulbeitrag) for enrolled pupils. The school does not publish a public fee schedule showing numeric tuition amounts by year group, per term or per academic year; the monthly school contribution is the standard billing unit.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Billing is organised as a monthly school contribution. The binding fee amount, due dates and precise payment terms are set out in the individual school contract issued at enrolment. Meal ordering for midday provision is done through the MensaMax system with weekly ordering cut‑offs (orders must be placed by Wednesday 24:00 the week before; cancellations by 08:00 on the meal day).

Fee payment options

- Bank transfer / SEPA: The school network uses standard bank transfer arrangements and publishes IBAN details for financial transactions in its formal correspondence; payments by bank transfer or SEPA direct debit are the normal payment channels used for school‑related payments. An IBAN is shown in the school's formal correspondence for payments.

- Other payment methods (credit card, online card payments) are not shown in the public enrolment materials for the Neukirchen secondary school; available payment channels and mandates (e.g., SEPA direct debit authorisation) are set out in the individual contract or billing documentation.

Practical summary for parents

- Expect a monthly school contribution rather than a published per‑term or per‑year tuition table. Specific numeric tuition and boarding figures are not provided in the public enrolment materials; the binding fee amount, the billing schedule details and refund/cancellation conditions are set out in the school contract you receive when a place is offered. For uniform purchases, meal costs and device programmes, prices are set by partner suppliers or programme documents and are charged separately.
