The German school system is free and mandatory to age 18. After the Grundschule (Elementary
School, 4-6 years), students are suggested to four different secondary education schools, on
which they have the final say about; a fourth type is accompanying an apprenticeship
students have to decide on if they haven't reached the age of 18 (usually when having
decided for Hauptschule or Realschule, previously):
Hauptschule - designed for students going into a trade (e.g., carpentry, masonry, etc.) and
is finished at the 9th or 10th class. Realschule - designed for students going into a profession and is finished at the 10th
class. Berufsschule - designed for accompanying an apprenticeship after Haupt- or Realschule;
mandatory to age 18. Gymnasium - designed for students going to university/college and finishes at the 12th (G8)
or 13th (G9) class. Gesamtschule (comprehensive school, could be compared to american Highschools)
