    FOSBOS Bayreuth , Germany

    The FOSBOS Bayreuth is a vocational secondary school with a special focus on merging theoretical school education with practical and professional skills. As our school name suggests, we are located in Bayreuth, a city with roughly 80 000 inhabitants in the north of Bavaria, Germany. Our classes only start in grade 10 since all of our students have either finished German Realschule beforehand or even completed some kind of vocational training. All of our pupils strive to pass the final exams and graduate with the German “Abitur“, which entitles them to study at all national and international universities.
    The school‘s departments of study (specializations) are: health studies, social studies, technology, arts and economics. Regarding foreign languages, all of our students have to take English classes and some also choose to study French or Spanish as a second foreign language.
