Procedure

            			
The legal guardians receive a school enrollment notification from the authority. Compulsory school attendance begins for all children who turn 6 by 6/30 of the year. 

Children who turn 6 between 7/1 and 9/30 of the year may also register the child for school enrollment within the registration period (grace period child). The registration of karenzeit children is binding. 

All children must be registered at the appropriate elementary school. The assignment to the registration school is based on the respective catchment area determined for each elementary school by the City of Bremen. 

If your child is to be enrolled at a public elementary school other than the enrollment school, you must submit a justified informal application to your enrollment school during the enrollment period. 

If your child has a recognized special educational need, please inform the school at the time of registration. 

If you register your child at a private elementary school, you must still register at the public elementary school responsible for you. If your child is enrolled at a private elementary school and you do not need a school place at a public elementary school, please submit a waiver. You can obtain a corresponding form from the private elementary school.
