This includes

  1. the original of the educational recommendation grade 4 (in exceptional cases the documentation of the special educational counseling - as original)
  2. copies of the last annual report card and the last half-year report from the school previously attended
  3. a copy of the birth certificate or a corresponding proof of identity
  4. the completed application for admission, signed by both legal guardians; if you do not have an application for admission to the grammar school, you can find it here.
  5. Proof of sole custody, if applicable
  6. If applicable, medical or psychological report/certificate, certificate of severe disability, notification of special educational needs, special educational report, development report or support plan - as a copy
  7. If applicable, declaration of bilingualism or multilingualism if the language of origin is not or not exclusively German
  8. Foreign language selection form - We ask all legal guardians to fill out this form


On the way to the Abitur, pupils at a grammar school must learn two foreign languages. At our grammar school, English is the first foreign language from year 5 onwards. According to SOGYA §11 para. 4, the second foreign language is chosen by the end of year 5.
At our school, there are special features to consider in this regard. For school organizational reasons, we form the classes based on the choice of foreign language. It is therefore mandatory for all parents to complete the foreign language choice form.

If your child would like to learn Latin as a second foreign language, they will start Latin in Year 5 as an early foreign language. Pupils in the Latin class are then taught Latin until Year 9 and receive the Latinum certificate after successfully completing Year 9. From Year 10 onwards, these pupils then learn French until they complete their Abitur. You can find the Registration for foreign language learning here. This form then supplements the above-mentioned documents as no. 8.

The letter to parents on the school admission procedure, e.g. on the criteria-based selection procedure or on student admission without an educational recommendation, can be found in the annex Information on the admission procedure to grade 5 for the 2026/27 school year here.

All applications received by the closing date will be treated equally.

Please enclose an informal letter with the documents if you have any special circumstances regarding the application that you would like us to take into account.

A decision on your application will not be made until May 2026. The decision will be sent to you by post on 22.05.2026.

If you are unable to submit your application by post, please make an appointment by telephone (03581 672640).

Yours sincerely

V. Grinszek-Kebsch
Headmistress
