Admissions

1. The most important condition for admission is the German language. If the child already attends a German-speaking school or another German Auslandsschule and has sufficient German language skills, admission can be granted without a language test. Russian language skills are not required for admission.

2. A guided tour of the school is conducted to learn about the school concept. The purpose is to familiarize the child with the environment and educational approach. Families have the opportunity to ask questions during this visit.

3. A trial day in the appropriate class is arranged. The trial day helps assess the child's fit with the class level and routines. Parents are invited to observe and discuss impressions at the end.

4. A welcome meeting with the parents is held. This meeting provides a forum to discuss the child's background, the school's expectations, and next steps. The meeting concludes with initial enrollment decisions and scheduling.

5. For children coming from German schools: an admission interview and an evaluation of their report are conducted. This process reviews prior academic records and readiness for the German-language program. The interview provides an opportunity to discuss the child's background and learning needs.

6. For children coming from Russian schools: an admission interview, evaluation of their report, and/or a language test are conducted. The process assesses prior achievement and German language readiness. Parents are informed about next steps and any required testing.

7. For children from Russian schools, from the second half of the second grade, the successful completion of a language test is mandatory for admission. For admission up to the end of the first half of the second grade, German language knowledge is desirable but not required. The language test ensures readiness for German-language instruction.

8. Financial information: The base annual fee for all classes for the 2026/2027 school year is 1,103,000 rubles. A discount of 15% to 30% applies to the second and subsequent children. For reductions and scholarships, inquire at the secretariat.
