School Fees

The Tuition Fee, Extra School Service Fee and Entrance Fee will be invoiced in early June and are due by mid of July. The Application Fee is payable after submission of the Application Form. The Registration Fee is payable upon receipt of the invoice. Transportation Fee is due in October (1st semester) and in February (2nd semester).

The Tuition Fee can be paid in 2 instalments; this option includes an additional 1% administrative charge. This option is only available by direct debit from an EU bank. The first payment (65 % of the Tuition Fee) is due mid of July. The second payment (36 % of the Tuition Fee) is due mid of January.

This option will not be available for students joining after the first pro-ratio reduction would apply (start after October 15th).

As of Fall 2019, BIS is offering a monthly payment model for the Tuition and Entrance Fee (or Tuition Fee only, but not individually for the Entrance Fee). This option is only available by direct debit from an EU bank. The (prorated) Tuition Fee and full applying annual rate of the Entrance Fee will be split into 10 monthly instalments, due between  mid of July and mid of April (minus the number of instalments for students starting during the year or leaving early). An administrative charge of 1% applies. For more information please contact the BIS Admissions Office.

The BIS Financial Assistance Programme offers eligible applicants societally reasonable school fees. The programme applies to students in Grades 1 to 12. Natural persons, who are self-payers, can file an application for reduction of Tuition and the Entrance Fee if the family‘s means are such that the school fees cannot be paid in full (in the meaning of the German Basic Law [Grundgesetz], art. 7, sec. 4). The family‘s means are its assets and its income.

The Financial Assistance Programme takes into account the family’s assets as well as the gross family income. The relevant annual gross family income is defined as all positive income obtained by all persons belonging to the same household. If the annual gross positive family income is below the limits stated in the BIS Financial Assistance overview, an application for financial assistance can be filed. Applicants must submit a registration certificate to prove that their main residence is in Germany. Fee reductions apply to the annual payable Tuition Fee as well as to the one time Entrance Fee as published in the BIS School Fee Prospectus. Please see BIS Financial Assistance Programme to check for eligibility and which reduction(s) may be applicable.

In exceptional cases, families who have already been granted a fee reduction via the Financial Assistance Programme may be eligible for a further reduction (outside of the Financial Assistance Programme) in the event the family finds itself in a financially difficult situation and is unable to pay the already reduced school fees. In this case a personal meeting must be scheduled immediately with the Business Director to discuss the matter in person. Please contact the Business Office for an appointment.
BIS also offers families who are in the Financial Assistance Programme the option to pay the fees in monthly installments.
All interested families can inquire about financial assistance by submitting an informal request to the Business Director’s Office via businessoffice@bis-school.com. 

For the school year 2023-24, the Bavarian International School (BIS) still has places available for some grades. For many grade levels there are waiting lists. 

At City Campus Primary School: We have spaces available in the Early Childhood Centre, grades 1, 2 and 4. At the Haimhausen Primary School: We have spaces in the Early Childhood Centre, grades 1 and 4. In the Secondary School, there are spaces available for grade 7 only. 

At an international school such as BIS, it is quite normal for expatriate children in particular to be enrolled during an ongoing school year or to leave the school again in order to seamlessly attend another international school elsewhere in the world. For this reason, there can always be changes in the number of enrolments and available places, even within a school year.

We ask you to take this current information into account and to apply for your children via OpenApply as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact our Admissions Team by phone or by email at admissions@bis-school.com.

Für das Schuljahr 2023-24 hat die Bavarian International School (BIS) in einigen Klassenstufen noch Plätze frei. Für viele Klassenstufen gibt es Wartelisten. 

An der City Campus Primary School: Wir haben noch freie Plätze im Early Childhood Centre in den Klassen 1, 2 und 4. An der Haimhausen-Grundschule: Wir haben Plätze im Early Childhood Centre, Klassenstufe 1 und 4. In der Sekundarschule gibt es Plätze für Klasse 7. 

An einer internationalen Schule wie der BIS ist es ganz normaler Vorgang, dass insbesondere Kinder von Expats auch während eines laufenden Schuljahres angemeldet werden oder die Schule wieder verlassen, um an einem anderen Ort dieser Welt nahtlos eine andere internationale Schule zu besuchen. Aus diesem Grund kann es auch innerhalb eines Schuljahres immer wieder zu Veränderungen bei der Zahl der Anmeldungen und der verfügbaren Plätze kommen.

Wir bitten um Berücksichtigung dieser aktuellen Informationen und frühzeitige Anmeldung  ihrer Kinder via OpenApply. Bei Rückfragen kontaktieren Sie unser Admissions-Team per Telefon  oder via E-Mail an admissions@bis-school.com.
