Monday to Friday the normal school hours are 8:00 am to 1:00 pm,

then most of the afternoon is spent doing homework. Some "Gymnasium" (German for University preparatory schools, like Grammar schools, UK or grade schools, US), have lessons for a couple of hours on Saturday morning. The German school system is very different from the American. Elementary school is from first to fourth (in some regions fifth) grade (times are from 8 a.m. to anything beween 11:30 am and 1 pm); after elementary school, students are split up into three different school systems (according to their grades up to that time and the recommendation of the elementary-school teacher): 1. Gymnasium (college track, which continues through Grade 12 or 13 and ends up with the diploma, the "Abitur"), 2. Realschule (continues only through Grade 10; with good grades, student may then continue over on the Gymnasium track), 3. Hauptschule (continues through Grade 10, leads to a very limited diploma with few professional chances. (The hours are from 8 am to 1 or 2 pm) In the case of 2. and 3 students are expected to go into vocational training/apprenticeship after leaving Grade 10, this being at the age of 15 or 16

Assuming that you are an American, you must go to the Auslanderamt, (immigration office) and find out what you will need to qualify Just being married does not give you citizenship rights. After you have demonstrated that you fulfill the requirements, you will receive a document which you must then take to an American Consular Office with US Citizen Services. (They are in Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich) There you must renounce your American citizenship in front of the U.S. Consulate. (The person, not the building!) They will not allow you to do this unless you have the right to another state citizenship, hence the paper from the German immigration office.) After your US Citizen has been renounced, you may obtain your German passport. (But why bother? Being married to a German gives you permanent residence. Yes, you must apply for this again every so often, but if you fulfill the requirements for citizenship, you will also fulfill the requirements for a "Aufenthaltstitel", which will give you all the benefits you need and allows you to keep your US Citizenship)

All German citizens at least 18 years old.
