Berlin, secondary years, from the school’s own 2026/27 fee document. Berlin British School charges €18,000 for Grades 7 and 8, €18,900 for Grades 9 and 10 and €19,800 for Grades 11 and 12. This record previously said only "Published fee schedules, German international schools" — no school, no city, no amount, no currency, no date — and printed $16,000 as a head figure inside a range of $14,000 to $20,000 that it had also not sourced. Both the range and the point inside it were ours. Two more Berlin schools were read and neither can be put in this table, for the same reason, and it is a German one. Berlin Metropolitan School and Berlin Cosmopolitan School are Ersatzschulen, state-recognised private schools, and Article 7 of the Basic Law forbids a school in that category from selecting pupils by their parents’ means. Both therefore price by family income: Metropolitan charges from €210 a month at a household income of €30,000 up to €1,449 at €200,000 and above for Grades 7 to 10, and Cosmopolitan runs a table of the same shape over twelve months. There is no single fee to record because the fee is a function of the buyer, and picking an income to quote would be choosing the answer. Berlin British School can publish a flat fee because it is an Ergänzungsschule, outside the state system and not bound by that rule. So the rows here are one school, which section 12-4-1 rule 3 says is not a sample, and the reason is not that we stopped looking.
Berlin international schools, secondary, tuition only: registration is a further €2,750 once, and IGCSE and IB examinations €1,625 and €2,725. State schools are free and taught in German. Read this as the flat-fee end of the city — the two income-scaled schools beside it start far lower for a family that submits its tax return, and end lower too.
