INSURANCE FOR CHILDREN IN SCHOOL

Students in German schools are automatically insured, which covers injuries sustained while in school. However, parents are responsible for their children’s liability, for example, if a child injures another child or breaks a window. Personal liability insurance is available cheaply in Germany, can cover the entire family and is highly recommended. More information is available through the school’s registrar and in the newcomer’s registration packets that parents and new students receive from the schools.

There is NO SCHOOL BUS Tradition in Germany

Most German cities have no bus shuttle service for students. Students have to use the local bus or train services.
