Here you’ll find all the key information about registration, trial days and fees for our private college. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
The first step is our online registration form, which parents and students fill out together. After submitting the form, you will receive a confirmation of receipt. We will then contact you in the spring prior to the desired start date to discuss the next steps in the admissions process.
All registered families receive a school questionnaire from us. Together with the child’s most recent school reports, the completed questionnaire forms the basis for our trial days. This allows us to gain an initial impression in advance.
Parents and students are invited to attend an interview with the school leadership and admissions team. This conversation is an opportunity for us to learn more about the student’s interests, strengths and goals — and for you to ask questions and get to know our school in greater depth.
To determine the student's current academic level, students complete brief assessments in German, mathematics and English (around 60 minutes each). For students transferring from other secondary schools, we generally look for the following grades: English 2, German and mathematics one grade 2 and one grade 3 or better.
Following the trial days, we will carefully review all materials and reach an admission decision. You will then receive prompt feedback by e-mail, along with all the information you need for a smooth start at our school.
Our upper secondary school is open not only to our own students, but also to young people who have previously attended another grammar school. Under certain conditions, lateral entry is also possible for graduates of Realschulen or Gemeinschaftsschulen.
