From the first till sixth year the natural sciences are also given. Pupils can choose ethics or christian education from first to third grade. First foreign language is taught from the third grade, and after three years of teaching the second foreign language begins. Literature starts at grade 4; informatics is tought from grade 5 till 7. History is tought from the sixth grade, while biology and geography lessons begin in grade 7, physics and chemistry in grade 8.
