Humboldt Schule

1. Three enrollment paths exist: entry into the preschool, admission to the PASO program (side-entry), or regular entry at any primary or secondary level. The first two options are open to families regardless of language background; regular entry is restricted to students whose German is the mother tongue. All admitted students must meet registration requirements. 2. Preschool entry: For preschool entry, consult the Kindergarten page and use the online form there. The entire process and submission of documents are carried out through the online portal, no later than April of the year before the relevant school year. In May, the management and board review applications and approve them according to available places, and inform applicants in writing whether admission is granted. Admitted students must provide immunization certificates appropriate to their age and undergo eye and ear examinations, and pay the registration fee and the admission bonus. 3. PASO program: The PASO program comprises students who attend Humboldt School in Grade 5 and come from public or private schools. These students take part in a German lesson called “Cursillo” after school in Grade 4; at the end of the course, the 30 students with the best results are admitted and form “Group R.” For more information about the New Secondary School and its admission process, see the linked page. 4. Regular admission to primary or secondary: To enter primary or secondary, fill out the “Entrance application” form correctly. The form is available on the Kindergarten page or at the Student Secretariat. Attach the following documents: 1. Original birth certificate or a photocopy of the passport for foreign students; 2) Transcript for the last completed year (original and photocopy); 3) Transcript for the current year (original and photocopy); 4) If coming from a private school, provide proof that there are no outstanding amounts (original only); 5) Copy of the employer regulations or income certificate. 5. Do parents need to sign an education contract? After admission, parents must pay the enrollment fee and the admission fee. This information is found in Tarife y pagos. Then parents must sign an education contract for each child; the document is submitted to the Student Secretariat. The contract must be signed by both the father and the mother and include their identification numbers; the contract must be renewed each year. Before the end of the school year, the administration sends the new contract for your children; you may cancel the enrollment fee for the next school year and send back the signed contract with proof of payment. 6. How is the school uniform? The official uniform for grades 1–10 includes a white polo shirt with the school logo, black trousers (cotton; denim allowed), a black belt, black shoes, black socks, and a black official sweatshirt without design. The sports uniform consists of an official T-shirt (white with design) and shorts (black with design), both cotton. Preschool and Abitur students may wear appropriate clothing; 11th-grade students decide the color of their official shirt each year. Official uniforms are only available in the school shop. 7. What are the opening hours? The school hours during the term are 7:30 to 15:30 and during holidays 8:00 to 15:00. (506) 2232 1455.
