Gymnasium Preparation 4th Grade
Why start so early with gymi preparation?
Our 4th grade gymi preparation is the optimal way to prepare your children for the gymnasium in a targeted manner. To this end, we have developed a perfectly structured 4th grade pre-course of the highest quality that maximizes your children's success in school. After all, it is not without reason that the Lern-Forum in Zurich is the leading institute for gymnasium preparation. As you surely know, after the lower grades the cards are usually reshuffled. From the fourth grade onwards, it is no longer about playful discovery and intrinsically motivated learning, but above all about good performance in exams as well as comparisons with classmates.
This is because the curriculum 21 is divided into basic competencies and extended competencies. The educational standards of a class and the learning progress of the individual students are compared over a longer period of time. With the help of diagnostic tools, your children are assigned to the group of strong or weak students at a very early stage. Unfortunately, this usually premature classification can only be refuted with great difficulty. The aim of early support is therefore to close existing gaps in the school material as quickly as possible in order to give your children the best possible conditions.
Through regular and, above all, targeted practice, arithmetic skills, and linguistic expression are permanently improved, so that a gymi preparation course for children in 4th grade is ideal for creating the best conditions for the further course of their school career. At the Lern-Forum in Zurich, we therefore offer our 4th grade preparatory course, in which we prepare your children comprehensively and, above all, in a targeted manner for the gymnasium. Take advantage of this opportunity and support your children with our course gymi preparation course 4th grade.

In designing the 4th grade pre-course, we have set very clear course objectives. These are divided into German and mathematics, which will certainly be the two most important subjects for your children.

In addition, we also always rely on current and effective tasks as well as materials for the gymi preparation for 4th grade.

The second one is spelling, which includes dilations and sharpenings, case and hyphenation, as well as upper and lower case. Dictation in German comes in at number three and text comprehension and interpretation at number four.

Our secondary school preparation in mathematics focuses on four main areas and topics. We start with basic arithmetic with semi-written and written arithmetic, but also mental arithmetic. We continue with arithmetic - addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In addition, we deal with variety arithmetic including weights, lengths, hollow mass, time as well as money. Last but not least, we deal with shape and space. This includes, above all, the recognition and representation of solids and surfaces.

Frequently asked questions about gymnasium preparation 4th grade (FAQs)
Below, we provide answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the gymnasium preparation 4th grade.
-
Why should students already participate in the preliminary gymnasium preparatory course during 4th grade?
There are two main reasons why students should start preparing for the long-term gymnasium in the 4th grade by attending a preparatory course:
1. The teachers at the primary school identify the strong and weak students at an early stage. Once you have been labelled as a weak student, it is difficult to shake off this label.
2. The preliminary grades in the school subjects of mathematics and German from the 1st semester of the 6th primary school class are also taken into account for the overall grade of the central entrance examination for the long-term gymnasium (Gymi-exam). Therefore, it is important that students achieve good grades in these subjects at an early stage in order to lay the foundations for a good level of performance in the 6th primary school class.
-
Why is there no essay training in the preliminary gymnasium preparation course for the 4th class?
Since the requirements for the essay in the entrance examination for the long-term grammar school exceed the competencies of a fourth-grader, essay training is not yet offered in the preliminary course for the fourth grade. Therefore, neither essay theory is taught nor are practice essays written.
-
What other courses should students take after the pre-course gymnasium preparation 4th grade to prepare for the Gymnasium exam?
To ensure a seamless preparation for the Gymnasium exam for the long-term Gymnasium, students should also attend the pre-course gymnasium preparation 5th grade after the pre-course gymnasium preparation 4th grade and then a gymnasium preparation course for the long-term Gymnasium (long-term grammar school).
In addition, the Lern-Forum offers intensive holiday courses in which the knowledge acquired can be further consolidated.
