Private School in Germany
You can attend a private boarding school in Germany with GLS. Boarding schools are usually more expensive than day schools and typically expect a minimum stay of one year. They also demand that you speak German quite well. One big advantageis that the boarding schools we partner with offer you the possibility to do the “Abitur” and then go on to study at a German university. If you want to do the Abitur, you should plan to spend at least the final 2 years prior to Abitur exams in Germany.
