The school has a modern, trilingual curriculum (Spanish, German, and English from the 5th EGB grade), aligned with the national education system and with the requirements of the German system. It uses books and teaching materials from Germany and classrooms are equipped with first‑rate technology. The teaching approach fosters independence and critical thinking from an early age through dynamic, participatory instruction. Students learn to research, propose, and create, developing their potential. In addition, the school offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB), which encourages students to reflect, act, and understand their role in the world, strengthening a global perspective.

The school emphasizes critical thinking and the development of each student's individual potential as the foundation of personal and academic growth. The school provides a German-profile education that integrates interculturality as an essential part of school life, alongside a strong formation in science, arts, music, and sport. This integrated approach enables students to discover, develop, and enhance their talents, building their own path with confidence and autonomy. In Kindergarten, children aged 3 to 6 share an environment that respects their learning pace and fosters autonomy, strengthening social and emotional skills through interactions with peers of different ages.

The school teaches a trilingual program in German, English and Spanish. Students learn German from preschool and English from 5th grade. Both languages can be certified from A1 to C1, and may sit higher-level IB examinations. German immersion starts from Kinderkosmos, supported by a bilingual team that includes a German teacher and a Spanish teacher, fostering language skills through games, songs and projects. In Grundschule, this learning is integrated into subjects and daily life. Exchanges to Germany are offered, with around eighty students participating each year.
