The aim of the Oberschule is to provide pupils with a basic, extended or in-depth general education and to enable them to specialize according to their abilities and inclinations. The secondary school strengthens basic skills, independent learning and promotes social learning in the classroom and through a shared school life. At the secondary school, pupils should acquire the qualifications that will enable them to continue their education in a vocational or academic context.

In years 9 and 10, the secondary school offers a practical vocational focus with measures for career guidance and vocational training, the profiles foreign languages, economics, technology and health and social affairs, as well as preparation for attending the upper secondary school (gymnasiale Oberstufe).

At the end of year 9, students at the secondary school can obtain the Hauptschulabschluss and the Förderschule certificate with a focus on learning.

The following qualifications can be obtained at the end of year 10:

  • Secondary school leaving certificate I - Hauptschulabschluss
  • Secondary school leaving certificate I - Realschulabschluss
  • Extended secondary school leaving certificate I, which entitles the holder to attend the upper secondary level at a grammar school, a comprehensive school or a vocational grammar school at a vocational school.

A secondary school can be run as an open, partially bound or fully bound all-day school.
