Fees and financing

What your studies cost

We are a private school without state funding. The tuition fee covers small practice groups, the integrated practice hours, the complete e-learning, the exam simulations and the free repetition. Every figure is here, so you do not have to call first.

What the tuition fee includes

Lessons, the integrated practice hours, full e-learning access with teaching materials, model solutions and past original exams, Office 365, the exam simulations and the supervision of the final thesis where it is part of the programme.

What comes on top

An enrolment fee of CHF 500 is due when the contract is signed, CHF 250 for self-study. On top of that come the course materials and the federal exam fees. Materials and exam fees are paid directly to the respective provider or examination authority and are not part of the tuition fee.

Paying in instalments

Available for all German-language programmes. The total amount increases, because the financing is carried along. A credit check is required, with one or more contractual partners depending on the number of instalments.

Repeat the Matura free of charge

Anyone who attends at least 95 per cent of the lessons, completes all assessments and sits the exam with our recommendation from the feedback meeting may repeat the programme free of charge. This applies to the Matura programmes, not to BMS, Passerelle and the IB. All conditions are set out in the frequently asked questions.

That is the reason why we give an honest assessment before admission of whether a programme is realistic for you.

If financing is the only open question

For applicants with convincing potential and a demonstrable financing gap we run the Academic Gateway Zukunftsfonds. It awards a limited number of repayable career loans. It is not a scholarship: the money is paid back with interest, and the selection is strict.

If that is your situation, simply get in touch with us and we will look at it together in the consultation.

Talk first, decide afterwards.

In the consultation we look together at where you stand, which programme is realistic and what the financing can look like. Around 30 minutes, without obligation, with the school management. You leave with a clear assessment, even when it says that a different route suits you better.
