Boarding schools are more expensive than day schools, and usually, they expect a minimum stay of one year. One big advantage: The boarding schools below offer you the possibility to do the "Abitur" and then go on to study at a German university. If you want to do the Abitur, plan to spend at least the final 2 years prior to the Abitur exams in Germany. All boarding schools demand that you speak German quite well. If you don´t, you can first do a preparatory course in Berlin and then transfer to the boarding school of your choice. The boarding school programme starts with a starter weekend in Berlin.
