The seven years of secondary education are organised in the following way:
Years 1 to 3:
For the first three years, pupils follow a common syllabus, known as the Observation Cycle. Most subjects are taught in the mother tongue (LI), although in second year all pupils must begin a second foreign language ( LII) ) and in third year all begin to study human sciences (history and geography) in their "working language" (L II). Latin is offered as an option in third year.

Complementary tuition:
Years 4 to 5:
In years 4 and 5 the compulsory course in natural sciences changes to physics, chemistry and biology, and pupils may choose between the advanced or the normal course in mathematics. Other elective subjects include economics, a third foreign language (L IV), Latin, art, music, computer studies and ancient Greek.

LI, LII, Mathematik, ein Unterricht in Wissenschaften, Philosophie, Leibeserziehung, Geschichte und Geographie, Religion/Moral), bieten sie den Schülern ein breites Angebot an drei- bis vierstündigen Wahlfächern.

Assessment and reports
Pupils are regularly assessed and reports are issued four or five times a year:
November report, half year certificate, March report, May report – years
4, 4 and 6; years 1-3 only if promotion is at risk – moving up certificate.
Assessment is based equally on course work and on examinations (there are no
formal examinations in the Observation Cycle). The assessment criteria is based
on the general school rules (art.60). Criteria established by the Board of Governors
are used to decide whether a pupil may be promoted to the next class at the
end of the school year. Pupils who do not meet these criteria are required to
repeat the year.
Notification of absences and illnesses of pupils:
Parents must report the absence of their child in years 1 to 7 without
delay to Mrs Weidel by telephone. Every absence must also be handed in as a written notice
stating the reason for absence. This can be done by fax or by handing in of an apology notice.
If the illness lasts longer than 2 days a medical certificate has to be provided.
Please also pay attention to further rules for absences in article 31 of the
General Rules of ES.
