The school year is drawing to a close. Classrooms are emptying, bulletin boards are disappearing, textbooks are closing, and everyone is slowly starting to think about the holidays. But before the rooms are completely empty, it's the perfect moment to thank those who have accompanied, supported, and inspired you throughout the year – your teachers.
It's a lovely tradition to express gratitude at the end of the school year – whether with words, a card, a short letter, or simply a smile. Teachers give far more than knowledge – they invest time, energy, and often a part of themselves. That deserves recognition.
We have compiled 30 beautiful end-of-school-year greetings – sorted by grade level – which can serve as inspiration for you.
Primary school – Teachers with big hearts
This is where it all begins: the first letters, the first mistakes, the first successes. Primary school teachers are often the first companions of children outside the family – and they fulfill this role with love, patience, and great understanding.

Secondary school – teachers who shape us
The second phase of primary school and middle school are full of changes – students grow quickly, ask questions, and test boundaries. Teachers during this time are guides who help us find ourselves.
-
Thank you for teaching us to think for ourselves. It wasn't just about facts, but also about attitudes and values.

May your summer holidays be a time of rest, relaxation and new inspiration.
High school – teachers who prepare students for life
High school is no longer just about academic content – it's about decisions, character, and direction. Teachers become mentors who have a significant influence on young people.
-
Thank you for teaching us more than just the curriculum. You taught us how to think, to doubt, and to find answers.

Their demands were fair and helped us move forward, even if we didn't realize it at the time.
-
They were partners in discussions – and we appreciated that very much.
-
With each hour came challenges, but also pride when we mastered them.

They have shown us responsibility and consistency – skills that extend beyond school.
Even if we didn't always say it out loud – thank you for every test, every corrected paper, and every piece of advice. Your time, energy, and attention were not something we took for granted, but a gift.
They helped us grow as people – and that is the greatest gift.
We wish you a summer that rewards all your efforts. Enjoy peace and quiet, recharge your batteries, and find new inspiration.
