FAQ

The application deadline for the 2026/2027 school year is February 28, 2026.

It may happen that ALEA SCHOOL receives more applications than places available. In this case, students may be placed on a waiting list. This means that they can enroll at ALEA SCHOOL at a later date.

Example: A student enters 5th grade in Korea in March. If he applies to ALEA SCHOOL for the new school year, he will usually be enrolled in 5th grade. The only exception: The new student is more than three months older than most students in 5th grade. In this case, 6th grade will be considered. The ALEA SCHOOL team is available during the admission process to answer any questions you may have. We will help you and your child get off to a successful start at your new school.

Scholarship framework conditions

In principle, anyone can apply for a scholarship. The award committee will take various criteria into account when selecting the scholarship holders: First and foremost, the economic eligibility of an applicant family. This is based on the average household income (approx. €70,000) in the Main-Kinzig district and the applicant confirms that they have a lower household income. Voluntary commitment, special achievements or a particularly convincing application are also taken into account.

When applying for a scholarship, applicants must provide basic information, a letter of motivation and a letter of recommendation from a (class) teacher. After submission, the awarding committee will review the application and contact the applicants regarding the next steps.

At the present moment, two scholarship programs have already been confirmed.

  1. The Norbert Strauss partial scholarship
    5x per year
    Covers €400 of the school fees
  2. The Bad Orb full scholarship
    2x per year
    Covers the entire school fees

Further scholarship programs are currently being developed.

There will be both full and partial scholarships. Depending on the type of scholarship, either all or part of the school fees will be covered by the scholarship. Both scholarship models cover tuition fees up to the 10th grade to the extent indicated.
