These are the different types of school in A Secondary
Modern School (Realschule) is a school that is more advanced than the Secondary
School (Hauptschule mit Quali). Here students are taught in the basic subjects which will prepare them
for a mid level job in business. In a Secondary Modern School it is possible for
a student with good grades or marks to transfer to a grammar school.
The Gymnasium is one of the tracks a student could go to after primary school. This school
prepares students to enter a university. The Gymnasium goes for nine years or
from the 5th through 13th grades (in the future from grades 5 to
12). Here students learn
subjects like German, math, physics, chemistry, geography, biology, art, PE,
religion and history. They are also required to learn two foreign languages
(one has to be English). In the
13th
grade students
prepare for the so-called Abitur (final
exam, graduation). This is an examination that you have to pass
in order to go on to a university
