Question

    In Germany, there are different kinds of high schools. Some students will become workers and others will go to college after they leave high school. All schools are great places for making friends and learning German.

   2  

Most high schools in Germany begin at about 8:00 a. m. and end at 3:30 p. m. on weekdays. That is to say, your morning will be busy with classes. You will have time to do your homework and join private clubs after school.

Getting to school

Most students take public transport to school or ride a bicycle. Some areas have school buses. It is not common for parents to drive students to school.

Private clubs

In many countries, schools offer different after-school activities. This is less common in Germany. They are usually organized through private clubs. There are clubs for things like football, dance, theatre and almost everything else. Once you are in Germany, ask around at school and talk to other students to find out what private clubs are in your area and meet your interests.

Different states, different school systems（系统）

Each of Germany’s 16 states has its own different school systems. The school system in Brandenburg will be a little different from the one in Bavaria for example. Wherever you live, your knowledge level and your age will decide which school you can attend.
