As a state-recognized kindergarten, we receive subsidies from both the state of Hesse and the municipality of Dreieich. However, due to the additional costs of our comprehensive educational concept, we are still dependent on charging parental contributions. As we want to give all children the opportunity to attend our facility, we have opted for an income-based contribution model.
Please use the parental contribution calculator below to determine your individual family contribution.
Lunch: € 5.90 per meal, billed on a daily basis
Afternoon care: € 41 per month for Friday 2 - 4 pm
Excursions: € 85 per year
Materials allowance: € 50 per year
Costs for school clothing: as described
One-off registration fee: 2.5 times the monthly fee
The elementary school at Strothoff International School is a state-recognized alternative school. We are therefore able to offer you reduced, income-dependent parental contributions in grades 1 - 4 and in Reception.
The basis for calculating the monthly parental contributions is the total amount of your family's income per year. The monthly fees for our Reception and grades 1 - 4 range from €99 to €1,206.
Please use the parental contribution calculator below to determine your individual family contribution.
Upon registration, we charge a one-off registration fee of 2.5 times the monthly fee.
The contributions for grades 5 to 12 are as follows
Grades 5: Please use the parental contribution calculator below to determine your individual family contribution.
Grades 6 - 10: €22,550 / year
Grades 11 - 12: € 23,830 / year
We charge a one-off registration fee of € 3,250 upon registration.
The re-enrollment fee is € 300.
We offer generous sibling discounts of 15% for the second child and 30% for the third and each additional child in a family. The discount applies to the parental contribution per month.
Excluded from the discount are costs for school clothing, excursions and material costs.
We do not offer a sibling discount in the kindergarten.
Please expect an annual flat fee of €220 for excursions and curriculum-related events and visits for pupils in our Reception and in grades 1 - 5.
From Year 6 onwards, the fees for excursions and week-long school trips are invoiced separately after prior communication. The costs vary depending on the destination, means of transportation and length of stay.
We have compiled a list of other costs that you should take into account:
Costs for school clothing as described: approx. 150 €
Lunch: €6.20 per meal, billed on a daily basis
Materials allowance: €50.00 per year
Our learning support for your child is generally included in the school fees. However, additional costs may be incurred for individual learning support for pupils with special educational needs. You as parents will be informed in advance of any additional costs for this support.
As part of the Diploma Program, you will be charged a number of statutory fees which are set by the IB World Association and passed on to parents via the school.
These fees vary according to year level and are invoiced separately:
- Exam fee
- IB DP Pamoja online course
- Fees for the graduation ceremony
We want our educational programme to be accessible to as many children as possible. From kindergarten onwards, we are pleased to be able to offer income-based tuition. Tuition is always determined by the gross annual income of all legal guardians from two years prior. This means, for example, that for the 2026/27 school year, the positive gross annual income of the parents/ guardians from 2024 will be used. Tuition is recalculated every year. With our tuition calculator, you can estimate your monthly fees.

The primary school at Strothoff International School is state-approved. This enables us to offer reduced, income-based parental contributions. The monthly parental contributions are calculated based on your family's total annual income.

In addition, there are day care/holiday fees, lunch money, material costs, excursion fees, administration fees, etc.
Starting in the 2026/2027 school year, we will offer reduced, income-based school fees for secondary level 1 (grades 5-10). As with school fees in primary school, the monthly parental contributions will be calculated based on your family's total annual income. The new fee regulations apply exclusively to new year groups. All existing secondary level 1 classes (grades 6-10 in the 2026/2027 school year) remain subject to the old fee regulations with fixed school fees (see costs for grades 6-12 further up on this page).
