The school also encourages talents in music, art and sport through targeted encouragement and opportunities to perform, display or compete.
Trilingualism includes German, French and English. English is introduced as a subject in Grade 5 and is taught to native and second-language levels. English language study runs from Grade 5 to Grade 12 (Abitur/Abibac pathway), with regular exchanges and intercultural exposure supported by partnerships with English-speaking schools.
