Landesschule Pforta:
The Landesschule Pforta is located in East Germany. It is close to the city of Leipzig and Naumburg. Every student has to choose one of three centres of interest: foreign languages, music or natural sciences. That means that he has to do more subjects and more lessons in addition to the regular time table that is not reduced in favor of his centres of interest. The aim of education is not the constriction to one-sided specialization, but the broadening of general higher education in a field where individual interest and capabilities motivate to additional efforts and higher performances.

Boarding School
All students live in the boarding school, there are no external students. The boarding houses do not offer merely accomodation for those students who live too far away to go home every day. At Pforta about 400 students, today more girls than boys, from all parts of Germany live and learn from the 9th to the 13th grade, i.e. from the age of 14 to 19. Conditions of admission are good performances at school, social involvement and passing the entrance examination. The school-leaving certificate (Abitur) allows the graduates to go to university.
