School recommendation
At the beginning of the second term of 4th grade you will receive initial information on the type of secondary school your child seems well-suited for. The actual recommendation will be given about five weeks before the end of the 4th school year of Grundschule (primary school). The school recommendation is based on the following criteria: child’s level of proficiency, learning progress during Grundschule, work and social behaviour and information gathered in conversations with the parents. After receipt of this recommendation and of the report card you have the possibility to arrange a counselling interview with the school. Afterwards you, the parents, decide which type of school your child shall attend.
