You can find information about our admissions procedure on this page.

Candidates apply for the admissions procedure in accordance with the announcement of admissions procedure criteria issued by the school headmaster in accordance with the Education Act and implementing decrees.

A transfer within the secondary school during the current school year is possible at any time based on notification of the transfer, assessment of the application and the decision of the headmaster of the school on the transfer.

You are welcome at our school at any time. As standard, we offer an experience day at our school, a so-called „Experiential Day“, where individual study applicants can experience one school day in a selected class.
