The school is organized into two sections on a single site: the German section and the French bilingual section. In the German section, students choose between English or French as the foreign language from the first grade. The French section is bilingual, with instruction in French and German, combining the Education Nationale and Baden-Württemberg curricula. Bilingualism is a daily feature for students and much of the staff, and it promotes interculturality.

The German section offers English or French as foreign languages from first grade. The school provides on-site social work support to assist students with various needs. It is part of the AEFE network, which underpins its international education framework.
