Here families can find all information about Aachen's schools, information events or open days and information about registration periods. This applies to elementary school as well as secondary schools, municipal schools and private schools.
Choosing the right school is an important step for parents and children. Should it be the elementary school just around the corner or near the workplace? Or does my child like a certain learning concept?
What should you do after elementary school? Grammar school or comprehensive school? Should you start at a secondary school? The city has produced a comprehensive brochure for secondary schools.
This year, the registration period for elementary school is between Monday, November 3 and Saturday, November 15. You can register your child at the nearest municipal elementary school or at an elementary school of your choice. When registering at an elementary school of your choice, it is necessary that you make an appointment for a registration interview before the registration week via the channel offered by the chosen elementary school.
Information on the individual elementary school and contact details can be found on the website of the respective school. Information about the information events can be found on this page.
It is necessary that you take your child with you to school registration.
