We are pleased that you wish to enrol your child at our secondary school. Here you will find all the information about the registration process, place allocation, school fees, and the next steps.
The recommendation for secondary school is decisive. We only accept children with a secondary school recommendation into our secondary school.
For your child to successfully transition to our secondary school, they should demonstrate good to very good results in the core subjects German, mathematics, and general studies.
Good skills in German and English (level B1) are required. If these skills are not yet sufficient, we may ask you to arrange additional language lessons or language support outside of school before the start of the school year.
To register your child, please complete our online registration form. After registration, you will receive a confirmation by e-mail. The admission process begins after the summer holidays when your child enters Year 4. At the start of the process, we will send you all necessary documents, including questionnaires and a request to submit the school reports from Years 2 and 3.
If the requirements for attending the bilingual secondary school are met, we look forward to meeting you and your child in person. We will be happy to answer your questions in an individual interview. You will also have the opportunity to get to know our school and gain a deeper insight into our educational concept.
Once the admissions process is successfully completed and you are convinced by our school concept, you will receive an offer of a place along with the corresponding school contract. Welcome to our Phorms Secondary School!
If places are available, we will arrange trial days and a meeting with parents at short notice so that we can get to know each other. Please do not hesitate to contact us. Our Admissions Team will get in touch with you promptly to discuss the next steps and the possible availability of places personally."
We want as many children as possible to benefit from our educational programme. That’s why we have chosen a model with income-based parental contributions. The monthly tuition fee is calculated based on the family’s total annual income.
Total annual family income
Monthly contribution per child
Additional costs such as after-school and holiday programme, mealtimes, materials, excursion fees and a one-off administration fee may apply.
We place great importance on creating a loving and safe environment for our little ones. At the same time, we want our services to be accessible to many families. Therefore, we have chosen an income-based contribution model that is fair and transparent.
A one-time administration fee equivalent to 2.5 times the monthly parental contribution is charged once the contract is signed.
To make our educational programmes accessible to as many children as possible, we have introduced a model of income-based parental contributions. These are calculated based on the parents’ or guardians’ gross annual income from the second-to-last calendar year before the start of school. You can use our contribution calculator to find out the monthly tuition fees.
All Phorms students take part in the school lunch, which is prepared on site. The monthly fee for this is €119.50.
We charge an annual fee of €50 per student for learning materials.
Our early care can be used flexibly. You can choose between a fixed monthly fee of €60, individual billing per visit for €7.50 or a 10-visit pass for €60.
After-school programme in the afternoon can be booked at any time. You can choose individually how many days a week your child would like make use of it. (1 day/week: €45/month | 2 days/week: €90/month | 3 days/week: €135/month | 4 days/week: €160/month | 5 days/week: €180/month | day attendance: €20/month | 10-day card: €150/month)
During the school holidays, we offer an extensive holiday programme for Phorms students as well as external children. The German-English holiday camps are aimed at children between the ages of 5 and 12. The exact programmes and prices of the holiday clubs will be announced as they become available.
During the school year, expenses will be incurred for the purchase of school clothing as well as for class trips and excursions.
If you would you like to enroll several of your children at our school will grant you our sibling discount. The second child receives a 20% discount on the parental contribution. The third child receives a 40% discount, and from the fourth child you receive a 60% discount. The minimum contribution per child is €99/month.
Parental contributions, lunch fees, school bus and early morning or after-school care are to be paid in 12 monthly installments. All fees are collected by direct debit in advance on the first working day from the specified account. At the same time, an invoice with a breakdown of the fees will be sent by email.
The parental contributions may be deductible as childcare expenses in the amount of 2/3 of the expenses as special expenses in the tax return. Your tax advisor will be happy to advise you on this!
