All children born between October 1, 2018 and September 30, 2019 will be required to attend school from August 1, 2025. Registration at an elementary school in the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer is possible in the period from October 28, 2024 to November 8, 2024 . Parents/guardians will receive an information letter with the required registration form. Please note that an appointment must be made in advance with the secretary's office of the respective school within the specified registration times.
Parents/guardians can register their child at an elementary school of their choice, subject to availability. However, there is only an entitlement to admission to the elementary school closest to the child's home. Admission to a more distant school is possible if there are still places available. When registering at the Overberg / St. Norbert primary school network, the school management decides at which location the child will attend school.
If children of compulsory school age have not been registered by mistake and the legal guardians have not received any notification, they are requested to contact the school administration office of the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer (telephone 0 28 32 / 122 - 411 or 122 - 419) by October 11, 2024.
Children who turn six after September 30, 2025 can start school at the request of their parents or guardians. The prerequisite for this is that they have the necessary physical and mental requirements and are sufficiently developed in their social behavior. Application forms are available from the elementary school. The decision on early enrolment is made by the school management, taking into account the school doctor's report.
The legal guardians of school-age children can find information about the respective elementary school on the homepage of the elementary school. Parents/guardians can find further information in the information letter from the school administration office or here on the homepage.
