1. Admission to Kindergarten I occurs in preschool age. After two years of mandatory participation (from age 4 to 6), students advance to Grade 1. Applications for Kindergarten are accepted two years before the start of Kindergarten, or earlier if you opt for the pre-registration procedure. Most subjects are taught in German, and English instruction is a fixed part of the curriculum and becomes mandatory from Grade 5; the school is accredited as an Excellent German international school.
2. Lateral entry into the 5th grade. The second admission option is offered exclusively for admission to Grade 5 and enables students from other schools to begin their studies here without German language proficiency. No German language proficiency is required.
3. Direct transfer from other German-speaking schools. The direct transfer from other German-speaking schools or international schools is possible when a place is available in the corresponding grade. Good German language skills and the passing of an entrance examination in the main subjects—Spanish, German, English, and Mathematics—are prerequisites for admission.
