School

The German educational system is different in many ways from the ones in other European countries. The federal states are responsible for the way school education is organised, which means there are differences from state to state but some generalisations are possible: 

  • Every must complete at least ten years of education. 
  • There are no general school fees for state schools or denominational schools.

German school system

Elementary Schoo
School education starts with 4 years of elementary school (Grundschule), at the age of 6, where the subjects are the same for all children. 

Secondary Schools
After the first four years, the children progress to secondary education. According to their academic ability, the wishes of their families and the recommendation of the teacher, a secondary school (Hauptschule), intermediate secondary school (Realschule), comprehensive school (Gesamtschule) or academic high school (Gymnasium) is chosen.
