Answer 2

The "Unterrichtsfächer" - classes - at a Gymnasium include

- German

- Maths

- two foreign languages (normally, English and Latin, but dutch, russian or french are also options depending on the school)

- sports

- chemistry

- geography

- politics/economy

- physics

- biology

- ethics or religion

- music

- history

- art

There might be extra classes like cooking, computer, etc.

Note that some classes in grade 11 are optional depending on your specialization.

Also, you'll go into a "Praktikum" where you will work for some weeks in a job of your choice. The grade for the Praktikum depends on the school.

Here's an example for a German Gymnasium in Frankfurt (Goethe-Gymnasium):

If you go to "our school" you'll find a bit more information about the activities and classes of this particular school, but other schools usually have similar stuff going on.
