About international schools in Frankfurt, Germany

British-curriculum international schools in Frankfurt generally teach in English and follow the UK model through Cambridge programmes (Primary, IGCSE) and - at some schools - GCE A-Levels, while several British-track schools in the city also offer IB or AP options at upper secondary level. German language tuition is normally built into the timetable and many schools expect pupils to study German to at least an intermediate level; additional modern languages such as French or Spanish are commonly available. Annual school fees vary by provider and by age, but published fee schedules for British-track and similar international schools in the Frankfurt area commonly sit in the low-to-mid five-figure euro range per year for primary and secondary places, with some municipal or partnership arrangements reducing direct costs for eligible families. Admissions are often handled on a rolling basis with the main intake at the start of the German school year in August/September, and families should expect entrance assessments or interviews, waiting lists, and a lead time of several weeks to months when relocating to the region.

FAQs for Germany

What exactly does “British curriculum” mean at international schools in Frankfurt?
Most schools using the British label follow the National Curriculum of England in primary years and prepare older pupils for Cambridge IGCSEs (Key Stage 4) and sometimes GCE A-Levels; some institutions combine those programmes with or move students into the International Baccalaureate or AP pathways at upper secondary. The practical effect is an emphasis on subject-based study, external public examinations in Years 10 - 13 and a structure that is widely understood by UK and Commonwealth university admissions.
How much should we budget for fees and extra costs?
Published tuition schedules for British-track and comparable international schools around Frankfurt typically range from the mid-four figures into the low-to-mid five-figure euros per year depending on age and the school, and families should also allow for joining or reservation fees, meals, transport and examination extras. Some schools publish specific banded fees and municipal or corporate partnership schemes can change the net cost for eligible families, so check each school’s current fee schedule early in the search.
When should we apply if we are relocating to Frankfurt?
Most international schools accept applications year-round but the principal intake is at the start of the school year in August/September, so aim to start enquiries and submit applications several months before your intended move to allow for places, assessments and paperwork. Schools commonly run language or entrance assessments, offer places subject to availability and operate waiting lists; some also hold places or priority arrangements for diplomatic, corporate or partner families.
What language support and German integration can we expect?
Instruction is normally in English, but German language lessons and integration into local language and culture are routine parts of the timetable; many British-track schools require or strongly encourage German study from primary years upwards. Schools vary in the level of support for non-German speakers (pull-out English support, German as an additional language groups), so ask about specific language-acquisition programmes and staged entry options during admissions.
Will a British-curriculum route prepare my child to go to university in Germany?
Yes - students who complete recognised international qualifications (for example IB Diploma, IGCSE plus appropriate upper-secondary qualifications such as A-Levels or an accredited IB/DP) can be admitted to German universities, though some programmes require additional subject prerequisites or recognition steps. If you expect your child to apply to German-language universities, check whether the school offers the language level and diploma recognition needed for direct entry or whether bridging tests (such as Studienkolleg or language exams) will be required.
