German. Check out our programm "German as a second language"!
Foreign languages & options
We offer English or French for pupils in the primary school (from class 1), with three hours per week. We also have French-speaking and English-speaking full-day programs. Click HERE for more information (in German).
Curricula
Teaching is based on the Thuringian Educational Plan, which is considered a high-quality educational standard and approved by German authorities. This thus makes it possible to easily change schools within the German Foreign schools and in Germany. In addition, our comprehensive school curriculum is also tailored to the needs of our pupils.
Primary school recommendation
In the first half and end of class 4, our pupils receive a written recommendation and detailed advice for the next level in class 5. The ultimate choice lies with the parents.
