Primary and secondary education
The northern Hessian city of Kassel offers an outstanding education and childcare system, distinguished by both breadth and quality. Anyone considering a move will find reliable support for all stages of education and training.
Early childhood education - daycare centers in the city of Kassel
The city of Kassel, with around 160 daycare centers, and the county of Kassel, with a further 150 facilities, offer a close-knit network of childcare services for young families.
Both the local authority and independent and denominational providers are responsible, ensuring that childcare options range from crèches and integrative groups to extended opening hours. Central online space allocation of the city facilitates the registration process and creates transparency about free capacities.
General education schools - diverse and close to home
In the urban area, the authorities count 57 public and 5 private schools of all school types. From reliable elementary school to cooperative comprehensive schools and traditional grammar schools, Kassel offers a complete spectrum.
Around 25,000 students attend general education institutions in Kassel. Modern facilities, all-day programs, and school social work are firmly established and contribute to consistent learning success.
Vocational schools - practical orientation in the dual system
To provide for the skilled workers of tomorrow, eight vocational schools under municipal sponsorship cover the full range of dual training programs and full-time vocational qualifications — from industrial-technical specializations to social and healthcare management.
As a result, companies in the region benefit from short distances to partners in the training networkwhile trainees can use modern workshops and learning labs.
Universities and research - University of Kassel at the Heart of the City
With around 25,000 students, the University of Kassel is the scientific center of Northern Hesse. Its interdisciplinary profile ranges from engineering and natural sciences to social sciences and humanities, as well as art and design.
The range is supplemented by a total of eight state-recognized universities and non-university research institutions such as the Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Economics and Energy System Technology (IEE) or the Student Research Center (SFN). This dense research landscape creates ideal conditions for transfer projects and academic career paths.
