to enroll in school
To send a child to school for the first time, so that they begin their school career in first grade. In Germany, this occasion is often marked with a celebration and a Schultüte (school cone).
Unser Sohn wird nächstes Jahr im August eingeschult.
Our son will start school next August.
'Einschulen' (to enroll in school) is a separable verb. The prefix 'ein-' separates from the verb in a main clause and goes to the end. In subordinate clauses and in the infinitive with 'zu', the verb stays together.
Nächstes Jahr schulen wir unsere Tochter ein.
Next year we are enrolling our daughter in school.
The verb is made up of the prefix 'ein-' and the verb 'schulen' (to school/train), which is derived from 'Schule' (school). It describes the process of bringing a child 'in die Schule' (to school) so that they begin their school years.
In Deutschland werden die meisten Kinder im Spätsommer eingeschult.
In Germany, most children start school in late summer.
The Einschulung (first day of school ceremony) is an important event in Germany. On their first day of school, children traditionally receive a 'Schultüte' (school cone), a large paper cone filled with sweets and small gifts.
Zur Einschulung hat er eine riesige Schultüte mit all seinen Lieblingssachen bekommen.
For his first day of school, he received a huge school cone with all his favorite things.
