"What school will my child attend in Germany?"
→ You get the answer here. We've guided 200+ expat families through exactly this.
From CBSE to Gymnasium — we know your child's journey.
India sends more skilled professionals to Germany than any other non-EU country. Many children arrive without German support at home. AYKEN German School gives you a clear, structured path.
The 4 biggest hurdles — and how we solve them
Curriculum shock
German schools differ radically from CBSE, ICSE, or state boards. We bridge the gap so your child isn't lost from day one.
Language barrier
Academic German is not conversational German. We teach the exact language skills needed to pass tests and talk to teachers.
Parent helplessness
School reports, parent-teacher meetings, Gymnasium recommendations — we guide you through every step in English.
Gymnasium track
Indian families prioritise the best academic path. We prepare children specifically to qualify for and thrive in Gymnasium.
From arrival to Gymnasium — step by step
Assessment
We assess your child's current German level and identify exact curriculum gaps vs the German school expectation.
Foundation
Focused sessions on academic reading, writing and key subject vocabulary. Parent briefings every 2 weeks.
Acceleration
Grade-level content in Sachkunde, Mathematik and Deutsch. Mock assignments matching school format.
Independence
Child can navigate school independently. We continue as a backup for exams and track transitions.
We know every region's rules — so you don't have to.
Germany's school system is not one system — it's 16. Each state sets its own rules, exams, and school tracks. Indian families predominantly settle in Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Düsseldorf — and we have deep expertise in all of them.
Bavaria
Germany's strictest and most competitive school system
Moving to Bavaria? We'll walk you through the exact steps.
