Fees and Financial Regulations
The LFIVH’s fees policy has been designed to meet a number of objectives:
- Balanced pricing:
Our fees are set to ensure high-quality teaching and supervision, while also supporting the upkeep and development of a safe, stimulating learning environment. The school operates on a reinvestment model, with all surplus funds directed back into the school and for the benefit of its students.
- Competitive pricing:
Compared with other international schools, LFIVH offers the same high academic standards, strong pathways for continued studies, and a wide range of services—many of which are included at no additional cost.
- Preferential rates for large families:
Families enrolling three or more children benefit from a discount of €180 per child, applied from the third child enrolled within the same family.

Tax-Deductible School Fees
For children attending a state-recognised school or an alternative school with “Ersatzschule” status, parents who are taxable in Germany may deduct 30% of the school fees from their income tax, up to a maximum of €5,000 per child per year.
As tax regulations can change, we strongly recommend consulting a qualified tax adviser (Steuerberater) for detailed and up-to-date guidance.
