Your application

You have decided to go to boarding school.
We will accompany you during the process.

From the first conversation until you depart

It can sometimes take a while from the first considerations to the application and finally the departure to your dream boarding school. The most important thing: you have to want it!

Your parents must support you. And you've probably already discussed everything with your friends many times.

We have summarized for you how the entire process works. And because we know that questions keep coming up along the way, we would like to encourage you to call us any time at 0611-180 58 82 or send us an email inquiry.

Your path to boarding school

This is how a boarding school application works:
1. A personal conversation
We want to get to know you; in an initial conversation on the phone, at one of our consultancy days or in an online appointment. Make an appointment here.
2. Your application documents
You fill out an application profile online, which we will later use to introduce you to selected boarding schools. A letter of motivation, a letter of reference where required, and your last three reports are also part of your application.
3. Your individual boarding school selection
Based on the interviews and your application documents, we will present you with a customized selection of three to six boarding schools. Together we discuss the selection and expand or reduce it. In the end, there are usually three schools left, which you will then ideally visit with your parents.
4. Your school visit
We will support you in planning your visit. There should not be more than three schools, otherwise the impressions will mix. As a rule, you will return with a clear favourite.
5. Entrance test
Some boarding schools require entrance tests. These can be taken when you attend the boarding school, or at home at your school, or at Toechter und Soehne in Darmstadt. Don't worry. We will help you to be optimally prepared.
6. Place offer
If the school is as enthusiastic about you as you are about the boarding school, it will send you a “place offer”. You may even receive this from several boarding schools. Now it's up to you to decide.
7. Anticipationand preparation
The placeoffer will give you a clear timetable of everything you and your parents needto do and get. From visas to underpants. Even during this time, the Toechterund Soehne consultants will always be at your side to help you. And then you'reready to go.
8. We stay in touch
Now, of course, we want to know how you are doing at your new school. Do you feel comfortable? Have you already made friends? How do you deal with homesickness? Why don't you send us a photo or video? We are still here for you - if you want us to be.
