High School Study Abroad Germany

Included: Starter Weekend in Berlin

We welcome more than 100 exchange students every year. They all start their adventure in BERLIN

 

The schools: "Gymnasien"

What is a "Gymnasium"?

We place international students at Gymnasien. A Gymnasium is a secondary school that leads up to university. The curriculum is rather academic, with two foreign languages plus math and science courses.  Ca. 30 % of German students attend this type of secondary school (more about Gymnasien and the school system in Germany)

Abitur

The final examination is called Abitur and grants access to university studies.  Choices of university location and study fields are limited however: Only students with a very good Abitur can study where and what they want.  Please note: Exchange students planning to do the Abitur have to attend a private school, the Abitur is not possible for them at state schools. 

The school year

The school year starts in AUG/SEP, holidays vary a from state to state (6 weeks in summer plus 2 weeks each in autumn, over Christmas and around Easter). School days are MON - FRI, usually 8 am - 1 or 2 pm, which leaves enough time to join local community clubs focusing on sports or the arts in the afternoon or on weekends. 

Examples

You can select the city where you'd like to go to school (i.e. Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg), but you can't select a specific school. To give you an idea what the schools look like, below the websites of some Gymnasien, that we cooperate with in BERLIN:

Host families

All families have been inspected by GLS. Some families have sons and daughters, who do an exchange program as well: While their kids go to school in Canada, France or Argentina, they are happy to welcome an exchange student going to school in Germany.

The families live within easy reach of the school that you attend. They provide a single room and full board. More about host families in the FAQ section. 

Single room, full board

You´ll have a room to yourself, when you stay with a host family. What you share with them are living room, kitchen, bathroom. 

Your host family provides full board - breakfast, evening meal and packed lunch Monday to Friday; breakfast, lunch and evening meal on Saturday and Sunday. We ask the host family to cook as they would for themselves.  

 

 

Student care

The GLS High School team in Berlin

The GLS high school team in Berlin will be your first contact in Germany: You´ll meet them at the starter weekend in Berlin, and if you go to high school in Berlin, you can contact them anytime you want.

They also organize regular activities for all exchange stundents in Berlin, i.e. weekend trips to Prague or Hamburg - a great way to meet other internationals going to school in Germany. 

Please see here short portraits of the cosmopolitan GLS high school team in Berlin 

 

 

Local coordinators in other cities

If you don´t go to school in Berlin, but - say - in Hamburg or Nürnberg, you will be supported by a local coordinator throughout your stay. Your coordinator lives in the same city as you and is in contact with you via email, phone and personal meetings. If you have any problems or need help, the coordinator will be by your side. 

All local coordinators arrange extra-curricular activities for exchange students - like, for example, a visit to the local bowling center, a meetup at a Christmas market or a day trip to a nearby city. 

They are also happy to help and consult if you want to join a sports club, learn things horseback riding or take music lessons.
