Welcome back another Wednesday to ReloBerlin!
In today's episode, we will prepare to understand the German educational system!
If you have children under 6 years old, you can enroll them into the following:
- Kinderkrippe (from 8 weeks to 3 years old)
- Kita or Kindergarten (ages between 3 and 6, in either half or full day between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm)
When they grow, and they get to elementary school and secondary school (mandatory from age 6 to age 14)
- Hort or Schullhort
- To get some extra hours
Elementary schools are between the ages of 6 and 10 and starts in September once the kid has already turned 6.
After the 4 years of elementary school, with the help of their teachers, tutors, and of course, the parents, based on the marks of the child, they will be either sent in one of the following directions:
- Hauptschule (for blue collar jobs, vocational training, or apprenticeship) until the age of 14
- Realschule (for white-collar jobs or community college) until the age of 15
- Gymnasium (to prepare for university) until the age of 17
There are also international schools (which are very demanding and include probation periods) and special schools, as well as schools with mixed language learning.
Universities are also a good option since they are tuition-free! Some universities will require you to have, at least a B2 (or more realistically, a C1) German-level certificate, but there are quite some options in English, or mixed. So do your research or get in touch with me!
