About Elementary and middle school
In Germany, elementary school (Grundschule) typically covers grades 1-4, where students learn fundamental skills in subjects like mathematics, German language, general science, art, music, and physical education. After completing Grundschule, students transition to different types of secondary schools based on their academic performance and recommendations. Middle school in Germany is part of the secondary education system and includes different school types: Hauptschule (grades 5-9 or 10), Realschule (grades 5-10), and Gymnasium (grades 5-12 or 13). Hauptschule provides a basic general education, Realschule offers a broader range of subjects leading to a more intermediate level, and Gymnasium prepares students for higher education with a comprehensive and rigorous curriculum. The choice of school can determine the academic and vocational pathways available to students in their future education and career. German schools emphasize a well-rounded education, critical thinking, and social skills, preparing students for the challenges of the modern world.
