Primary School
FEES STRUCTURE
We want to give as many children as possible access to our educational programme and have therefore opted for the model of income-based school fees. The basis for calculating the tuition fees is always the gross annual income from the year before last, i.e. for the 2025/26 school year, the positive annual gross income 2023 of the legal guardians is applied. The tuition fee is recalculated for each school year.
Please consult our admissions team for the exact calculation of the tuition fee.
Phorms Tuition Calculator - Primary School
You can use the fee calculator to determine your individual tuition fee. Please enter the annual gross income of both legal guardians of the calendar year before last in euro, without separator or comma (i.e. 60000):

Administration Fee
A one-off administration fee of two and a half times the monthly tuition fee will be charged when the contract is concluded. For a gross annual family income of up to 60,000 euros, only one time the monthly tuition fee is charged. If your gross annual family income is 20,000 euros or less, the administration fee is waived completely. This fee does not apply again when transferring to our secondary school

We charge a monthly catering fee of 102.00 euros for food.

TAX DEDUCTION
The tuition fees for crèche and kindergarten are tax deductible as extraordinary expenses, but only if the child lives in the same household as the parent. In a single-parent family, if the parent is working, or if both parents are working in a two-parent family, 80% of the childcare expenses can be stated as work-related child care costs up to a maximum amount of 4.800 euros per child and can be deducted as operating costs when determining the gross family income. This does not apply to expenses which are related to extracurricular activities or tuition for special talents, or expenses for sporting and leisure activities.
30% of the school fees for primary and secondary school are tax deductible as extraordinary expenses. This does not include accommodation, day care or food costs for the child. Since 2008, the tax authorities have stipulated that 5,000 euros is the maximum amount possible for tax reduction for extraordinary expenses. This means that parents cannot deduct more than 5,000 euros per child (30% of 16,667 euros) for school fees from their tax liability (§ 10 Paragraph 1 Clause 9 of German Income Tax Act, Special Expenses).
Day care costs (e.g. Phorms afternoon programme, but not external clubs) are also tax deductible as work-related childcare costs. The child must live in the same household as the parent and must be under 14 years of age. In a single-parent family, if the parent is working, or if both parents are working in a two-parent family, 80% of the childcare expenses can be stated as work-related child care costs up to a maximum amount of 4.800 euros per child and can be deducted as operating costs when determining the gross family income. This does not apply to expenses which are related to extracurricular activities or tuition for special talents, or expenses for sporting and leisure activities.
Phorms Education does not take any responsibility for the correctness of the information mentioned above. Please ask your tax consultant, should you have questions regarding this matter.
