Languages taught are German, English and French as Language 1 sections. Language 2 is chosen by pupils from the other languages and begins in P1; L2 hours per week are 2.5 (P1–P2) and 3.75 (P3–P5). L2 is the teaching language for History and Geography from S3, and for Economics from S4. The nursery has three language sections and the primary has 15 classes (5 FR, 5 EN, 5 DE); European hours start in the 3rd year of primary.
Three linguistic sections: German-speaking, English-speaking, and French-speaking. Education runs from nursery (M1) through to the European Baccalaureate. Language 1 corresponds to the section language; Language 2 is chosen by the pupil and must be different from Language 1; L2 becomes the language of instruction in History and Geography from S3, with Economics taught in L2 from S4.
The European School Strasbourg is a public local institution of international education (EPLEI) serving pupils from age 4 to 18. It operates in Strasbourg's European Quarter with three linguistic sections: German-speaking, English-speaking and French-speaking, delivering the European School curriculum with identical syllabuses across sections.

The school began in 2008, moved to its current site in 2015 and has been an EPLEI since 2019 under the European School Office standards, awarding the Baccalaureate. Facilities include dedicated spaces for arts, music, ICT and a teaching kitchen in the early years, plus a library in three languages and a gym with a dance room. A daily school menu with dietary accommodations is offered, and after-school care is available.
