Information event: transition from primary school

Do you feel attracted to the family atmosphere and humanistic orientation of our school? Would you like to find out more about our foreign languages: Latin (grade 5) ⇒ English (grade 6) ⇒ Ancient Greek (grade 8) ⇒ (optionally) Spanish (grade 11-13), or about the diverse profile of Fridericianum? Are you curious to see how a school founded in 1745 presents itself in 2026?

Then come and get to know Erlangen’s most compact grammar school at our information evening on Friday, 27 February 2026, at 6 p.m. We look forward to meeting interested fourth-graders and their parents and to introducing them to the school and its school family. After a joint kick-off, primary school pupils can get a taste of typical subjects, while parents and guardians are informed about the special features of Fridericianum. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to ask questions directly to the experts and to explore the school building and grounds together.

We look forward to meeting you and exchanging ideas!

Christian Schöffel (Head of School)
