Realschule

Realschule is a type of secondary school in Germany that provides a practical, intermediate-level education typically lasting six years, from grades 5 to 10. It prepares students for vocational training or further education like vocational high schools. The curriculum emphasizes core academic subjects such as mathematics, sciences, languages, and social studies, balancing theoretical knowledge with practical skills. Realschule aims to equip students with a solid foundation for the workforce or additional qualifications, offering a pathway that is more applied than a general academic track but broader than specialized vocational schools.
