European School Frankfurt delivers the European Curriculum for ages 4 to 18, culminating in the European Baccalaureate. The school, part of the European Schools network, operates with language policy that assigns a dominant language at enrolment and delivers instruction in official EU languages through mother tongue sections and vehicular language sections. The campus houses nursery through secondary education across two buildings, with a Nursery P1–P2 modular building and a Main Building for Primary and Secondary, plus well-served canteens and a staffed Kiosk. The school offers four language sections—German, English, French and Italian—with Spanish added in 2018, and SWALS available where no language section exists. Facilities include a library serving all taught languages and a range of library events. The KiVa anti-bullying program reinforces wellbeing, while pupils engage in language study, intercultural projects and scientific work through project-based activities, theatre, music, art and sport. The school supports students through after-school programs.
European School Munich is part of the European Schools system, supervised by EU governments, with Fasangarten hosting Kindergarten and Primary and Neuperlach housing Secondary. The school delivers the European Schools curriculum, providing multilingual education from nursery to the European Baccalaureate. Pupils study the official languages of all EU member states in language sections, taught by native-speaking teachers, with Language II compulsory from Primary year 1, Language III from Secondary year 1, Language IV from Secondary year 4, and Language V from Secondary year 6. Primary focuses on intercultural learning through the SMiLe team and KiVa anti-bullying. Secondary is organised into Orientation (S1–S3), Middle (S4–S5) and Upper (S6–S7), with emphasis on multilingualism and subject specialisation, culminating in the European Baccalaureate for university entrance. Founded in 1977, the school has grown alongside new facilities and hosts projects such as Eurosport, Model European Council and Culture Days, reflecting its European ethos.
European School Munich’s Fasangarten site provides education for children from kindergarten through primary school. The campus strictly follows the European Schools syllabi, organizing students into specific language sections where they are taught by mother-tongue educators. A defining feature of the primary curriculum is the weekly "European Hours" initiative for grades P3 to P5. During these sessions, children from different language sections combine to study subjects with a European dimension, such as regional geography and culture, fostering intercultural communication. The Fasangarten site keeps early education physically separate from the secondary campus, providing scale-appropriate facilities for younger learners. Student welfare is actively supported by the SMiLe-Team (Sozial-Miteinander-Leben) and the integration of the Finnish KiVa anti-bullying program into the daily routine. Furthermore, primary students participate in hands-on sustainability initiatives, such as cultivating the school garden and joining Eco-Clubs to practice environmental responsibility.
European School RheinMain is a private European School near Frankfurt, Germany, serving students aged 4 to 18. It operates within the European Schools system and offers curricula on one campus: the European Schools curriculum leading to the European Baccalaureate and the International Baccalaureate programme. The IB pathway began with the Middle Years Programme in 2021 and added the Diploma Programme in 2024, with most subjects taught in English (the second language is taught within the curriculum). The campus opened in 2012–2014 and features a four-court sports hall, a basketball/football field, and Primary and Secondary libraries with 24/7 access to an electronic library via Sora app. Sustainability is central through initiatives such as a Tiny Forest project that will plant over 500 trees. The school welcomes students regardless of parental employer. Extracurriculars cover sport, music, languages, science and culture, with teams including Golf, Football, Tennis and Cricket, and the Parents' Association.
