I am a sophomore in the IB program. I am enrolled in two AP classes, two DP (Diploma Program) classes, one standard, and the rest are IB MYP. Most of my peers take one or two APs, and about half take one DP. I participate in one club and one sport, and the workload is manageable though requires focus. I’ve met some really great people here and made some amazing friends. Some of my teachers could improve their teaching styles, but I have good things to say about many of them. My physics teacher is fun and teaches an arguably difficult subject very effectively. My chemistry teacher is passionate, sympathetic with the students, entertains the class, and teaches subject matter clearly. The reason I don’t give North Mecklenburg High a 5.0 is the facilities; due to lack of funding, there are several construction flaws and the great majority of the buildings are ancient. Like many other things, money would fix this.

I am a sophomore in the IB program, and I love it here! This school is what you make of it, and you have to put in hard work to get back satisfying results.

The students at this school are a joke. All they want to do is slide by with a D or C and hang out with their friends, skip class, and sell things to eachother. It starts as simple candy sales. Buy packs of candy fro a local Walmart and sell them to students. But othes sell illegal drugs on cmpus! The teachers are joke. Some spend 25% of the classtime actually teaching while the rest of the time s devoted to talking o a movie everyday! Especially one teacher, Mrs. Vicky Armstrong. She is a racist teacher who spent all day talking. If one student had their phone out, if they’re back, they get a warning to ut it away. But if she didnt like them, she confiscated it the first time with no warning! She even allowed one of her students to talk on the phone and have a conversation right in the middle of class! She spends all of her time sitting behind a desk. Her Level 2 class makes the lesson for Level 1 while she sits back and do nothing. She lets students who are not in her class walk in and spend time they should be in their own clsses learning! It is a wonder why he is still working at school for such conduct.

the school was okay. The food was not the best. There was no nurse at the school so if you felt sick you were better off just calling your parent

This school is not excellent, but more average. Some would say below average. Parents and students are constantly concerned about the safety of the school. The IB program is great though.

Great school overall, great sports especially. Teachers here actually teach and help with schoolwork. There are also great afterschool programs.

I really enjoyed the cheer team my 9th and 10th grade year. My teachers have been an inspiration throughout my years there and my film class is awesome. Only thing I would change about North Mecklenburg High School is all the assignments you have to do when your IB student..

North Mecklenburg High School biggest problem it the front office, and safety issues. There’s no point to call up there and ask questions because they don’t know. Just easier to call to the guidance office. Safety wise we have to go through metal detectors and still about every two weeks there’s a gun threat. Oh almost forgot majority of us don’t have actual teachers teaching us. Probably just edgenuity classes.

My experience at North Mecklenburg High School has been pretty good. I am not a very outspoken individual, so I don’t have too many friends. But my teachers are really good on making sure that students stay focussed in class. I have my good and my bad days, but overall, this school isn’t too bad.

I had a fine experience with North Mecklenburg High School. All the teachers I had have been nice and very understanding.

Was in the IB program and the had amazing teachers who genuinely try to make you succeed and teach you. Also the college coordinator is such a helpful person who doesn’t judge you and honestly answer any question you have.

So far I am currently enrolled as a rising sophomore in the IB MYP at North Mecklenburg High. My freshman year wasn’t like the movies, but along the way, I met a lot of new and old people and began to connect with some. However, I often felt as though I didn’t truly have a group to connect with or rely on. My teachers always did an amazing job of supporting me however the counselors and other staff weren’t of the best help when I truly needed it.

North Mecklenburg is a good school. There’s a lot of opportunities for students and a lot of help. North Meck also has a lot of programs like Cosmetology, Culinary, and World language. Resources are available throughout the campus and are also announced.Even though it’s a good school there are some safety concerns but it’s slowly improving.

I enjoyed my time at North Meck. I loved all of my teachers. I was only here a short time because of COVID. During COVID my teachers were very understanding. All of my teachers made sure I was successful. The campus is huge and mostly outside which you should take into consideration the weather. The cafeteria food was ok but the staff was friendly and helpful when I needed it. My counselors made sure I was ready to graduate. My transcript was messed up but immediately corrected which I appriate.

My experience at North Mecklenburg School High is the classes were too big and the teachers were over worked. The students that struggled seem to fall through the cracks. The teachers did not put in grades timely. I like the friends that I had and my teachers that love their job.

At Northmeck I had some friends and even had some games that I was cool with, but that didn’t erase the teachers that didn’t care about what they were talking about, or the lack of mental sickness awareness, nor how to deal with it. The only reason some of the ratings on the are even average is because of those teachers that cared about not only teaching their students but also building a connection with them and being almost a safety beacon. Even with those good teachers and staff it sometimes want enough and student could and sometimes would go over the edge. I was one of those student. Eventually though they helped those students me included. Northmeck without those teachers is way below average, but with them their I hope the school does well.

I honestly love this school. The way it shaped me into the person I am today is amazing. The people I have met, and the culture I was able to surround myself with are so lovely. The academics have truly prepared me for a successful first year in college and though rigorous, make me feel confident in all that I do.

The school contains mostly great teachers and staff, but there are a lot of unnecessary rules and regulations that just don’t improve the safety of the students. A procedure like this includes police sirens going off between 7:09-7:15 am on their max volume. This makes us as students feel like animals that are stuck in a cage trying to be controlled. This also I believe contributes to the recent reckless behavior performed by some students.

I switched to this school my sophomore year; this school is great! I’ve only been here for a short while, but I have been introduced to so many programs to help build me up for the future. This school doesn’t only look at their students as scholars, but they also see us as the future. They acknowledge their students strengths and help boost up their weaknesses. This school is a great school to attend if you love reading because their Library’s reading selection is so wide-ranging. Overall this school is great and diversely broad.

Its not the best high school theirs kids who vape cuss and smoke in public so If your parents are ok with that go right ahead. The teachers are average nothing to special about them they come to teach get there pay check and leave.

pre-school, secondary, higher in 2023

Germany is one of the most popular foreign countries among students from Russia. Every year about 12,000 of our compatriots go there to study.

Pre-schools and schools

Children from 3 to 6 years old go to kindergartens (Kindergärten). There are also pre-school classes (Vorklassen) and kindergartens at schools (Schulkindergärten). Kindergartens in most German states are paid, and there are usually not enough places: to get a place for a child, parents have to wait from several months to several years. nine0003

There are about 50,000 schools in Germany with more than 12.5 million students. School education is free. Nine classes are compulsory. The school education system is designed for 12-13 years.

Primary school (Grundschule) starts at the age of six and lasts for four years. After the children are divided according to their abilities into different groups. The weakest students are sent to the senior level of the folk school (Hauptschule), where they study for five years. After graduating from this school, you can start working or continue your education in the vocational education system. Students with average results go to a real school (Realschule) and study there for six years, after which they can get a job. The most capable continue their education in the 11th-12th grades of the gymnasium (Gymnasium). Students of the thirteenth grade of the gymnasium are considered applicants and are preparing to study at universities. nine0003

Universities

There are 379 accredited universities in Germany: 240 public, 99 private and 40 run by the church. Students can choose from 14,000 educational programs.

Technical universities are highly valued in the country. Among the best universities are Ruprecht Karl University Heidelberg, Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich and Technical University of Munich.

Before applying for admission, the applicant needs to find out about the requirements on the website of the university or contact the International Relations Department (Akademisches Auslandsamt or Dezernat Internationales), where you can get individual advice on choosing a specialty and study conditions.

Documents required for admission:

• completed application form;
• a certified copy of the matriculation certificate with a translation into German;
• certificate of knowledge of the German language;
• an extract from the student’s record book, translated into German.

When submitting an application, you need to find out whether education acquired in your home country is recognized in Germany. Information about this is available on the Anabin.De website. A matriculation certificate obtained in one’s home country may not be enough to enroll in a German university, and a “permission to study at a university” (Hochschulzugangsberechtigung) may be required. In Germany, this admission is the general school-leaving certificate (allgemeine Hochschulreife or Abitur) or a special school-leaving certificate that gives the right to enter universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschulreife). A certificate can be obtained by enrolling in a university in your native country for the specialty that will be studied in Germany in the future, or in a German college for pre-university training (Studienkolleg). nine0003

Documents are accepted to many German universities through the uni-assist service (Application Services for International Students). Its head office is located in Berlin. This service cooperates with approximately 160 universities in Germany. Students submit documents to uni-assist, service employees study them, and if the papers meet the requirements, they are transferred to the appropriate university. Usually, the deadline for submitting documents for the winter semester ends on July 15, for the summer semester – on January 15. It takes four to six weeks to process an application. nine0003

Most universities in Germany do not have entrance exams, but foreign applicants are required to prove their knowledge of the German language. The exceptions are creative universities, which require a competition, and medical universities, which sometimes provide for a special test.

Studying at almost all universities is free, but students must pay a semester fee (Semesterbeitrag) – from 50 to 250 euros, in order to be able to use canteens, dormitories and travel tickets. In some federal states of Germany, tuition fees are charged at state universities (Studiengebühren, Studienbeiträge) – up to 500 euros per semester. nine0003

Students can live in dormitories (Wohnheim), student communes (Wohngemeinschaft, WG) or individual apartments. Renting private housing costs at least 300 euros per month. In total, the average monthly living expenses in Germany range from 550 to 740 euros.

In Germany, there are many cities where the number of vacancies is growing due to the economic boom, while the average rent remains low, scientists from the IW Institute in Cologne have found.

Germany is experiencing an economic boom and a severe shortage of skilled labor. Therefore, the German government is now preparing a law on the targeted attraction of foreign labor migrants. At the same time, foreign specialists with higher or secondary technical education are expected not only and not so much in large, but in medium and even small German cities. nine0003

Million-plus cities: rent eats up salaries relatively low level. This, experts point out, increases the attractiveness of such cities for labor resources and becomes a serious competitive advantage of German regions over million-plus cities. nine0003
