No, not true. They have to *attend* a school institution. There is Anwesenheitspflicht.
Of course you can choose schools. But they need to be there I thought?

nah, germany’s homeschooling rules are still basically straight outta 1938. parents *can* ask for exemptions under §24 SGB VIII “erdulungslose erziehung”, but the bar is so high that fewer than 500 kids get one per year (and that slice usually ends up in steiner ausbildung, not real homeschool). it’s not even a right,teachers union + kultusministerkonferenz line up against any relaxation every time it hits the bundesrat. net result: effectively illegal unless you wanna burn your savings on lawyers to convince a court the state school system is “psychisch gefährdend”.
