After 4 years, pupils change to a secondary school (weiterf\u00fchrende Schule): a Gymnasium or a Stadtteilschule. In a Stadtteilschule, students take the \u201cAbitur\u201d (A levels: entrance qualification for higher education) after 9 years. At a Gymnasium, students take this exam after 8 years. In both secondary schools (weiterf\u00fchrende Schulen), pupils can obtain the \u201cersten allgemeinbildenden Schulabschluss\u201d (general education school leaving certificate) after the 9th grade, and the \u201cmittleren Schulabschluss\u201d (intermediate school leaving certificate, qualification for an apprenticeship) after the 10th grade.<\/p>\n<p>School attendance is compulsory in Germany. This means that children have to go to school from the age of 6 to 18. If young people already have a qualification (first general school-leaving certificate or intermediate school-leaving certificate) before they turn 18, they must complete vocational training. Homeschooling, to say that children are permanently taught at home, is not permitted.<\/p>\n<p>Note for Ukrainian refugees: Even if your child continues to take advantage of online programmes at their home school, they are obliged to go to school in Hamburg.<\/p>\n<p>Information for parents can be found here (German, English, Arabic, Farsi, Russian): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamburg.de\/625042!search?query=Elterninformation\">https:\/\/www.hamburg.de\/625042!search?query=Elterninformation<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can find an overview of the schools in Hamburg here.
