Comprehensive School versus Grammar School

A special feature of the comprehensive school with upper secondary level compared to a grammar school is the three-year upper level. While grammar school students only have 2 years to prepare for the Abitur, here they have an additional year to develop. In the 11th grade students can opt to learn a second foreign language like Spanish.

All school degrees can be done at the comprehensive school Petershagen – from the advanced vocational qualification to the Abitur. Each student can achieve the best possible degree according to their level of ability.
