Wechsel des Schuljahrganges in Form einer Wiederholung, eines Überspringens oder eines Zurücktretens beantragen

You want to apply for a different change of school year for your child? Read here what needs to be considered.

Whether your child will be transferred at the end of the school year depends on performance development and grades. This is decided by the Transfer Conference.

You can apply to the school for your child to repeat a class (voluntary repetition of the school year) or to be transferred to a higher class (skipping a school year).

You can apply for your child to attend the next lower grade at the school semester (voluntary resignation). This is not possible if your child attends the school entrance phase of primary school.

Your child may voluntarily resign only once while attending a general education school or may voluntarily repeat a school year only once.
