: This is confusing, and the customer will assume you've made a mistake. We're not looking for the British equivalent - this is the German system.

Thomas Pfann
: Agree with 'years 9 and 10' but not with your added note. The student did not attend secondary school 'for years 9 and 10', the Fremdsprachenschwerpunkt is what happened in years 9/10.

years 10 and 11
It is probably best to convert to the British system here.
Discussion
Would Jahrgangsstufe 1 then be year 2? And if not, at which point do you skip a number?
Also, Realschule ends after the 10. Jahrgangsstufe. Wouldn't it be hugely confusing and misleading to translate this as year 11?
Years 9 and 10 in the German system equivalent to Key Stage 4 (i.e. Years 10 and 11) in the UK system
Still puzzled why Phil thought Disagree more appropriate than Neutral. The second answer provided the information requested. The first answer and current leader simply reiterated Asker's own idea with the addition of extraneous info re the US system.
I have never heard anyone in the UK say that they attended school "for" (sic) Years 9 and 10, i.e. non-native use of the preposition.
