Vorzeitige Einschulung beantragen

• § 27 Schulgesetz für den Freistaat Sachsen (SchulG) – Beginn der Schulpflicht

Will your child not be six years old in the year of enrolment until after September 30, and you wish to enrol your child in school early due to his or her stage of development? Apply to the relevant elementary school by February 28 in the year of the desired enrolment.

Tip: The pedagogical staff of the daycare centre and the school administration of the elementary school can advise you on the appropriate time to enrol your child in school.

Children are generally enrolled in school if they celebrate their 6th birthday in the period from 01.07. of the previous year to 30.06. of the year of enrolment. If the parents wish, children who do not celebrate their 6th birthday until 30.09. of the year of enrolment may also be enrolled in school. In both cases, registration at the school is required.

Elementary School District

Each public elementary school has a school district. All children who live in this district must attend this elementary school. As a rule, the school district corresponds to the municipal area.

If there are several elementary schools in a municipality or city, the municipalities and cities may divide their territory into several school districts or leave the schools in a common school district so that there is free choice of school.

To find out which elementary school is designated for your residence, contact your local or city government.

Exceptions

Under certain conditions, an exception to the school district is possible, so that another elementary school can be attended.

Independent schools

In addition to the public elementary schools, there are also numerous independent elementary schools (private schools). These do not have a defined school district.

 Attendance

Elementary school in whose school district you live:

• Schulen im Freistaat Sachsen (nach geografischer Lage)
  Sächsische Schuldatenbank 

• Informal, written request
• Presentation of birth certificate

• Your child is not yet 6 years old on 01.10. of the year of planned enrollment.
• Your child has a level of mental and physical development necessary for school attendance.

None

Register your child at the elementary school and request early enrolment from the school principal.

• Your child will take part in the school medical examination like all other children. In addition, the current developmental status of your child will be determined.
• The school management will then invite you to an interview together with your child.
• The final decision as to whether your child can actually be enrolled in school early is made by the school administration. 

Note: You must register your child at the elementary school and apply for early enrolment together as parents if you have joint custody. If one of the partners is unable to attend, a power of attorney and a copy of the absent person's ID must be presented.

Application: no later than 15.03. of the desired enrollment year
