Assessment rhythm: term grades with controlled publish to families GDPR role boundaries and vendor AP beside school fees Private, independent, and international schools in Germany - especially around Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and Frankfurt - often run German Abitur, IB, Cambridge pathways with German and English-medium instruction.
