From our founder
We wanted the gate a child walks through on the first day to be the same gate they graduate from.
We founded Mavera in 2009 with 140 students in one building. Today four schools share the campus; the kindergartner sees her big brother cross the high school's glass bridge every day. Our teachers know students for years, and that is the most valuable thing a campus gives us.

Information desk
The questions parents ask most before enrolling. If yours is not here, call admissions.
0312 484 62 62 All questionsWhen does enrolment open?
Pre-registration for 2027–2028 is open. When you fill in the form, the admissions office calls you within two working days and we set an introductory meeting or scholarship exam date for your child's level together. Final enrolment dates are on each level's page.
Which authority is the kindergarten under?
Our kindergarten is a private kindergarten under the Ministry of National Education for children aged 36–66 months. We do not offer nursery care for children under 36 months; that age group falls under institutions of the Ministry of Family and Social Services.
Do you admit high school students by LGS score?
Private high schools do not admit through central placement but by the school's own criteria. We hold an interview with every applicant. LGS and our scholarship exam results are used to set the scholarship rate; there is no compulsory minimum score for enrolment.
Do fees include VAT and meals?
The amounts on the fees page include VAT. Meals, books and stationery and the school bus are separate items, shown on separate rows. A uniform set is bought once at enrolment.
Are there sibling and early-payment discounts?
A second sibling at the school in the same year gets 10% off tuition, a third 15%. Paying in full in advance gives 5% off. Discounts apply to tuition only, not to meals or the bus; scholarships and discounts together can reach at most 50%.
How is the scholarship rate set?
Depending on the exam result we award 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% off tuition. The scholarship continues while the student studies with us; the end-of-year grade and attendance conditions are in the scholarship regulations given to parents at enrolment.
