Sponsoring association
The purpose of the association is: "The purpose of the sponsoring association, founded in 2003 with the Atelier School, is to create the sponsorship of the Atelier School Zurich, which aims to support, develop and promote the Atelier School as an independent secondary school in the sense of Rudolf Steiner's pedagogy. The sponsoring association is based on a cooperation agreement with Rudolf Steiner schools in Sihlau, Winterthur and Zurich, which together with the Atelierschule form a school association. The association is non-denominational and does not pursue any profit-making purpose. The association manages the financial resources and promotes the school as a non-profit and publicly accessible educational institution. " Members of the sponsoring association are the school associations of the Rudolf Steiner Schools in Sihlau, Winterthur and Zurich as legal entities and interested parents, teachers, school friends and sponsors. The board is elected by the general assembly and consists of active or former parents and experts from outside who want to support the interests of the studio school. The college forms an independent body of the association, which the school management elects. The business of the association is conducted in close cooperation with the school management and staff. A control body checks the annual accounts of the association.
financing
The Atelierschule Zürich is a private school and is financed by parental contributions. These are paid per family and are income-related. Families who come from one of the three supporting schools Sihlau, Zurich or Winterthur make their family contributions in accordance with the parent's contribution regulations of the respective supporting school. If the family comes from another Rudolf Steiner school in Switzerland, the school fee is paid to the respective home school, which then pays the contribution to the Zurich Atelier School. For families who come neither from a sponsoring school nor from a regular school, the family contribution is agreed with the Parents Contribution Commission (EBK). The family contribution is usually between 600 and 2600 francs per month and family. The costs for school materials and internships are not included in the parental contributions. If a family cannot cover the full school costs themselves, a pre-financing loan can be obtained from the Zurich Rudolf Steiner Schools Foundation .
