2. Enrollment Agreement

Students may be admitted to the Steinmühle Bilingual Elementary School if their parents or other legal guardians submit written applications for admission to the school administration. The school administration decides on admission.

3. Terms and Conditions

• This contract is valid through and including 4th grade.
• The contractual relationship may be terminated by either party with three months’ notice, effective July 31. Notice of termination must be received no later than April 30. The school administration exercises the right to terminate the contract in consultation with the school board.
• If a student leaves the school without observing the specified notice period, the school’s right to payment of the outstanding tuition remains unaffected until the end of the contractual term.
• The foregoing rules apply without prejudice to the mutual right to terminate the contractual relationship for good cause. Good cause may include, for example, repeated violations of the school rules. If extraordinary termination is necessary due to a student’s conduct, the entitlement to payment of tuition fees shall not cease until the date on which the contractual relationship would have ended had the contractual notice periods been observed.
• If a student is required, under applicable school regulations, to leave the school during the school year, the entire contractual relationship shall terminate at the end of the month in which the legal impossibility of continuing to attend school is legally established and announced.

4. School Conditions

School conditions are governed by the provisions of the Hessian School Act applicable to state-recognized alternative schools and the associated regulations.

To be admitted to the Steinmühle Bilingual Elementary School, students must meet the admission requirements set forth in school regulations. Admission is conditional until the required proof of measles immunization is provided.

5. School Tuition

• To attend the Steinmühle Bilingual Elementary School, you must pay tuition, a fee for supervision during the early drop-off period, and a meal fee. Please visit our website for the current school fees: www.steinmuehle.de/service.
• Tuition and meal fees are monthly payments due in advance at the beginning of each month. The school year begins on August 1 and ends on July 31 of the following year. For students enrolling during the school year, annual fees are prorated for the corresponding period. Partial months are calculated as one-twelfth of the annual fee.
• Invoices are issued in two installments: 5/12 of the annual premium on August 1, and 7/12 of the annual premium on January 1. Monthly payments are made either by direct debit or by bank transfer.
• If the contracting party falls behind on school fees by an amount equal to or exceeding two monthly installments, the school is entitled to terminate the contract without notice. Even in this case, the agreed-upon fees must be paid through the end of the contract term.
• The school reserves the right to adjust tuition and meal fees to reflect increased costs. Any increases will be announced at least three months before they take effect.
