Sample Course Plan
Below is an example program for a Grade 9 student aiming to study engineering at a German public university (one of the most popular recent pathways). Students may choose electives based on their interests and goals.
| Grade | Term 1 | Term 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Grade 9 | Civics/Careers | Literacy |
| Grade 10 | German 1 | German 2 |
| English 11 | Mathematics 11 | |
| Grade 11 | Physics 11 | English 12 |
| Chemistry 11 | Mathematics 12 (1) | |
| Grade 12 | Physics 12 | Mathematics 12 (2) |
| Chemistry 12 | Elective |
Explanation
- In this example, the student begins with a light load in Grade 9, then continues with 2 courses per term from Grade 10 onward.
- Two German courses in Grade 10 satisfy the foreign language requirement of German public universities (additional German courses may still be needed depending on the institution).
- Alongside German, Grade 11 English, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry are taken early to meet entrance requirements.
- Starting in the second term of Grade 11, students complete 6 Grade 12 courses.
- If the student’s focus is social sciences rather than engineering, Physics or Chemistry in Grade 12 can be replaced with electives.
- The program is flexible: students may accelerate by taking summer courses or 3 courses per term instead of 2.
