2. Enrollment Agreement

Students may be admitted to Steinmühle High 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

• The school contract becomes effective upon receipt of the confirmation of enrollment and the SEPA direct debit authorization.
• If you withdraw from the contract for a school spot in 5th grade for the upcoming school year after March 1, we will charge a processing fee equal to the enrollment fee.
• The parties may terminate the contract for cause with three months’ notice, effective January 31 or July 31. Notice of termination must be received no later than October 31 or April 30, respectively.
• 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.
