The International German School of Paris bases its study and career counselling to cover the diverse needs of our students. We support pupils completing intermediate school (“Realschüler”) in their search for a secondary school or for an apprenticeship training position and advise our grammar school pupils in the choice of a university and of a suitable place to study.

Career information day

Parents, academic advisors, students of a wide range of professional disciplines and subjects are present and available to answer the pupils’ questions in personal conversations. This enables a direct personal contact with people from the world of work and university. In addition, pupils learn about (un-)typical career paths and get valuable tips for life after school.

 

The library as an information space and information board

The school library is an open space which students from the higher classes frequently use to learn or just get together. In a leaflet rack, we provide brochures on the subject of study and career choice. Current university rankings as well as descriptions of interesting courses are also available from an information board.

 

Individual counselling

In the course of our study and career guidance, the need for individual counselling is identified by the school and submitted to the competent and trained career and study advisors in Germany. Individual counselling is then available in the context of events in Paris.
