preliminary stage of upper secondary level grammar school


Explanation:
Die englische Entsprechung der Oberstufe ist fifth and sixth form. Vielleicht kannst du der Übersetzung in Klammern noch ein "year 11" hinzufügen, damit deutlicher wird, um welche Klassenstufe es geht.

Eine Alternative: "first year of upper secondary level grammar school".

Example sentence(s):
  • The Gymnasiale Oberstufe (upper secondary level grammar school) comprises the years 11 to 13 (in in some states 10-12 or 11-12) , it normally consists of a one year introductory phase and a two year period of qualification.
  • If school achievement remains constant, at the end of the year a certificate will presumably be issued which covers promotion to the preliminary stage of sixth form.
