community school
A type of school in some German federal states where students with different educational recommendations continue learning together for longer and can earn different school-leaving qualifications.
Nach der Grundschule wechselte unsere Tochter auf die neue Gemeinschaftsschule im Ort.
After primary school, our daughter transferred to the new community school in town.
The word is made up of 'Gemeinschaft' (community), the linking -s, and 'Schule' (school). So it literally describes a 'school of the community,' which highlights the concept of students with different abilities learning together.
Die Gemeinschaftsschule fördert das soziale Miteinander.

When talking about transferring to this type of school, you often use the preposition 'auf'. For attendance or location, you use 'in der' or 'an der' Gemeinschaftsschule.
Mein Sohn geht jetzt auf die Gemeinschaftsschule.
My son now goes to the community school.
Common verbs used in connection with 'Gemeinschaftsschule' (community school) are 'besuchen' (to attend), 'wechseln' (to transfer), or 'einen Abschluss machen' (to earn a qualification).
Viele Schüler besuchen die Gemeinschaftsschule bis zur zehnten Klasse.
Many students attend the community school until tenth grade.

Gemeinschaftsschule, on the other hand, refers to a corresponding type of school in some federal states, with its own pathways to different school-leaving qualifications.
