Hello, as my family is planning to move to Germany from US later this year, what steps should I take to ensure a smooth transition for my 10 and 13 year old? My main concerns are: which German state offers best program/assistance for non-German speaking students, as private school is not a financial option for us. I also would like to find out more about how to ensure my kids can get into a Gymnasium, and how to navigate that process, as I understand that different German states have varied selection process. I have general understanding of the German school system, I just cannot find any info on how it is adapted to foreign older students that are not fluent in German, and what are the options we have.
