Application Process for Primary Schools in Essen for the Academic Year 2026-2027

In the city of Essen, parents and guardians are gearing up for school registrations for the upcoming school year. Here's a rundown of the key details to help you navigate the process.

The city has made the registration process straightforward, with all the necessary information available on the city portal. You can find answers to common questions such as "Which elementary schools are near me?", "What special offers do the schools have?", and "How does the registration process work?" among others.

For those with children born between 1st October 2019 and 30th September 2020, the registration forms have already been sent to you.

The registration for the Tiegelschule will take place at the University of Duisburg-Essen on four specific dates: Thursday, 18th September, Friday, 19th September, Monday, 29th September, and Tuesday, 30th September. Registrations for other municipal elementary schools will take place on Tuesday, 23rd September, and Wednesday, 24th September, with additional appointments available after individual agreement with the desired school.

The Gesamtschule Bochold, one of the schools in Essen, will start the registration process earliest, also at the University of Duisburg-Essen.

The city portal provides additional supporting information under www.our website/schulanmeldung, including information on registration, profiles of the elementary schools, and links to their homepages. Parents and guardians are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the registration formalities (appointment scheduling, school play, etc.) at the elementary school of their choice by contacting the school directly or checking their homepage.

Schools also organise information events before the school registrations. Dates and further information on these events can be found on the homepages of the schools. It's essential to note that the decision on whether a child will receive a place at the desired school is independent of the time of the registration talk.

For further queries, the Press and Communications Office of our city portal can be reached at +49 201 88-0 (ServiceCenter Essen), email: presse@our website, and URL: www.our website/presse.

Additional information on the registration location and appointment scheduling for the Tiegelschule can be found on www.our website/tiegelschule. Stay informed and make the most of this important step in your child's education journey.
