[quote=Anonymous]If international school, yes. Otherwise, moving at age 10 is literally the worst possible time to enter a German school unless your child is fluent and on grade level in German. The German school system is unforgiving to second language speakers and age 10 (4th grade) is right when they track kids into Hauptschule/Realschule/Gymnasium. The student's grade in German is a big part of that decision. Check out the Toytown Germany site, which is sort of like DCUM for English-speaking expats in Germany. They are a big reality check on German schools for foreigners. "It'll be a fun adventure!" holds for most international travel, but specifically NOT Germany at age 10.[/quote]
