is no charge for the children to attend. In addition, there are private
and international schools, which charge fees.

which includes first through fourth grade. In Berlin and Brandenburg, primary school
extends through sixth grade. At the end of primary school, the childs teacher and parents
will decide where the child will enter fifth grade, which depends upon the childs
performance.

Gymnasium (High School): (academic secondary school for grades five through
twelve/thirteen) At the end of the 12 th or 13th grade, students will receive a diploma upon
passing the Abitur examination. This entitles the students to study at a university.
