All about starting school

The first day of school is a very special moment - for children, parents and everyone who accompanies this important step.

Blackboard with text: all the best for starting school. You can see two stuffed bears to the left of the blackboard and a yellow school cone in the foreground

Starting school marks the beginning of a new phase in life and is an important milestone on the path to growing up. Many look forward to this day with anticipation, excitement and perhaps a little nervousness.

Alongside the anticipation, a number of questions naturally arise, such as:

  • What does my child need to start school?
  • How does school enrollment work?
  • What happens at the school medical examination?
  • Which school will my child go to?
  • When and where do I have to register my child?

Under "Further information" you will find helpful answers to frequently asked questions about your child's school enrollment.
