Germany is the most restrictive jurisdiction in the developed world. The law requires school attendance. Fines and, in extreme cases, custody issues have occurred.

Some families use international schools in Germany. Expensive but legal. Others register in Austria and commute for assessments.

The EU does not override national education law. Consult a German education lawyer before deciding.

European Home Education (EHEA) can connect you with families navigating this in Germany. Small but experienced network.
