30 years of experice. What you access when you sign up with us

School selection
Based on a thorough conversation with you and your child, we build a detailed profile and recommend four or five schools that are a genuine fit.

Application
We guide you through every step of the admissions process, from the first submission to the offer. Our relationships with school heads and admissions teams, built over three decades, open doors. Many schools waive entrance tests for Glasmacher students.

Perparing to start
Visa, guardian, departure. We keep track of the deadlines and make sure nothing is missed.

Subject guidance
We advise on A-Level and IB subject choices with a clear eye on recognition in Germany and university entry requirements.

During the time abroad
We remain reachable. For questions, for problems, for everything that parents cannot easily resolve from a distance. You will always speak to someone who knows your situation.

And beyond...
Return to the German school system, university applications, gap years. We help you find the right next step.

Resources for our families

From the start of the application, Glasmacher families have access to the family portal: a protected area with comprehensive information on the application process and life at school, including a glossary, checklists and practical guides. We keep families informed by email about developments in the school landscape and any changes to entry requirements. We also run regular webinars on subject choices, university applications and first-hand accounts from students.

Practical help with entrance test preparation, subject tutoring and final examinations

Experienced. Reachable. Problem solvers.

Many of us are parents ourselves and know the questions that come up when your child is far from home. English-speaking staff are a permanent part of the team.

We respond quickly, personally and directly. No chatbot, no queue. You will always speak to someone who knows what you are asking about.

Our team

What does Glasmacher charge?

The initial consultation is always free. Our fee applies from the point at which we send you our school recommendations and begin organising appointments with the schools. It is a one-off charge of €476 including VAT, covers the entire family and includes younger siblings at no additional cost.

Does Glasmacher help with entrance tests?

We explain exactly which tests each of the selected schools requires and provide your child with practice materials and preparatory resources through our family portal. If additional support is needed, we have tried and tested recommendations for tutoring. You will find relevant contacts on our partner page, or simply ask us directly.

Are there shorter language stays for younger students?

Many of our partner schools open their campuses in the summer as summer schools for students aged twelve to seventeen. A language course at a boarding school is a good way to improve English during the holidays, take part in plenty of sport and spend time with peers from around the world. We are happy to advise.

Can my child go abroad after having finished school in Germany?

Absolutely. There are many options for young adults from the age of seventeen onwards: A few weeks of intensive language training, a stay of several months, or a full foundation year combining language and academic subjects. The time between school and university is well spent broadening both personal and academic horizons, and we have different options for individual needs.
