Highlight: Weekends in Berlin
One of the highlights of our high school program: twice a year we arrange weekends in Berlin for all excange students in Germany
(Gymnasium)על בתי הספר: גימנסיה
Gymnasium: מהו "גימנסיה"?
אנחנו מציבים סטודנטים בינלאומיים בגימנסיה. גימנסיה היא בית ספר תיכון שמוביל לאוניברסיטה. תוכנית הלימודים היא אקדמית למדי, עם שתי שפות זרות בתוספת קורסים במתמטיקה ומדעים. Ca. 30% מתלמידי גרמניה לומדים בבית ספר תיכון מסוג זה (more about Gymnasien and the school system in Germany)
Abitur
הבחינה הסופית נקראת "Abitur" ומעניקה גישה ללימודים באוניברסיטה. האפשרויות של מיקום האוניברסיטה ואת תחומי המחקר מוגבלים עם זאת: רק תלמידים עם Abitur טוב מאוד יכול ללמוד איפה ומה הם רוצים.. Please note: Exchange students planning to do the Abitur have to attend a private school, the Abitur is not possible for them at state schools.
Two of the high schools, we work with in Berlin: Heinrich Schliemann Gymnasium (Google map) and Gabriele von Bülow Gymnasium (map).
שנת הלימודים בגרמניה
שנת הלימודים מתחילה ב AUG / SEP, חגים להשתנות ממדינה למדינה (6 שבועות בקיץ בתוספת בדרך כלל 2 שבועות כל אחד בסתיו, מעל חג המולד סביב חג הפסחא). ימי בית הספר הם MON - FRI, בדרך כלל 8:00 - 1 או 2 pm, מה שמשאיר מספיק זמן להצטרף למועדונים קהילתיים מקומיים התמקדות בספורט או באמנויות אחר הצהריים או בסופי שבוע.
Examples
If you book the select program, you can select the city (i.e. Berlin, Bremen or Lübeck), where you'd like to go to school, but you can't select a specific school. To give you an idea what the schools look like, below the websites of some Gymnasien, that we cooperate with in BERLIN:

Student care
The GLS High School team in Berlin
The GLS high school team in Berlin will be your first contact in Germany: You´ll meet them during the Berlin weekends, and if you go to high school in Berlin, you can contact them anytime you want.
They also organize regular activities for all exchange stundents in Berlin, i.e. weekend trips to Prague or Hamburg - a great way to meet other internationals going to school in Germany.
Please see here short portraits of the cosmopolitan GLS high school team in Berlin
Local coordinators in other cities
If you don´t go to school in Berlin, but - say - in Hamburg or Nürnberg, you will be supported by a local coordinator throughout your stay. Your coordinator lives in the same city as you and is in contact with you via email, phone and personal meetings. If you have any problems or need help, the coordinator will be by your side.
All local coordinators arrange extra-curricular activities for exchange students - like, for example, a visit to the local bowling center, a meetup at a Christmas market or a day trip to a nearby city.
They are also happy to help and consult if you want to join a sports club, learn things horseback riding or take music lessons.
