Welcome to the forum, @Anne88
How nice that you want to study in Germany! Have you already received an acceptance letter?
When you move to Germany, you have to register your place of residence at the so-called Bürgeramt. Then it is possible to find out what the nearest school for your daughter would be in order to register her there.
To register her at a school, a school doctor will first check her development and language skills. You can find more information about school on Handbook Germany.
If her language skills are sufficient, she can of course complete Abitur. If further German language skills are required, she can also attend a preliminary course (Vorkurs) in Bremen, where she can learn German intensively for up to 12 months.
In Bremen, there are two types of school to reach Abitur: “Oberschule” & “Gymnasium”. You can read about the differences here.
As you have already found out, private schools charge a very high fee. This varies from school to school. You have to check with the respective school to find out how high the fees are.
Please let me know if you have further questions.
