We offer various fee reductions for our courses and the childcare
Our course and childcare fees vary because donations and cantonal contributions allow us to offer fee reductions based on your canton of residence. You too can take advantage of these reductions!

The reductions possible depend on the canton of your residence. Please note the following important information:

Basel-Stadt
If you live in Basel-Stadt, you can benefit from a price reduction for German courses and childcare.

Important:
1. In order to calculate the price reduction, we need your health insurance premium reduction.

• If you do not yet have a premium reduction, you can apply for one from the Office for Social Security Contributions. You can find information here  .
• The Office for Social Contributions will classify you according to your income and family situation. You will receive a reduction from us according to the same level.

2. In order to for you to receive a price reduction, we have to forward your data to the education department of the canton BS (adult education department) (last name, first name, date of birth, nationality, residence status, gender, number of years of formal education, employment yes or no).
