German Comprehensive School

All students stay within the same group of people as their „Klasse“ (class) from year 5 to year 9 or 10. They consequently have more time to learn together - catered to their individual needs.

From year 7 on, some subjects are being taught in courses in two different academic levels.

Students learn independently and effectively, develop a strong personality and reach their possible academic goal.

After completing classes at GAZ, students may proceed to sixth form schools or technical colleges or start a working career.
