Germany
The German curriculum follows the European model of free public education leading to various types of secondary school for academic or vocational training, rather than the US approach, in which pupils attend a single comprehensive high school. Secondary classes begin in grade 5 and continue until grade 10, at which time students choose from vocational training, technical or business school, or an academically oriented course of studies that leads to the Abitur diploma and college entrance.
