Schule in freier Trägerschaft Aufnahme

Attendance at an independent school is possible under certain conditions.

The compulsory school attendance requirement can be fulfilled not only at public schools, but also at independent schools. Independent schools admit pupils in accordance with the regulations that apply to state schools, but may set additional admission requirements.

Admission to independent schools is subject to the same conditions as public schools:

• school age
• if applicable, registration of children not yet of compulsory school age
• successful attendance of elementary school as a prerequisite for admission to lower secondary schools
• if applicable, special admission requirements for particular types of school or school types.

Independent schools can also set their own admission requirements, for example

• Religious affiliations for denominational schools
• suitability for special educational concepts
• special performance requirements.

• Admission to an independent school is based on an application procedure that generally takes place during the same periods as at state schools.
• Any deviations in dates will be announced by the independent schools.
• In the event of a refusal of admission to an independent school, it is always possible to register at a state school.

Admission to an independent school is based on the conclusion of a school contract under private law, which establishes a school relationship under private law. Appeals under civil law are possible.
