French is the primary language of instruction across the school. Since 2009, kindergarten classes have equal French and German instruction (13 hours per week in each language). German instruction continues in elementary in accordance with the French National Education programs, with attention to inclusion and openness to the host country. English is introduced early, from CE2 to CM2. In 6th grade, there are four English language sequences and five German sequences, with math and science taught in German by teachers from the Französisches Gymnasium.
In kindergarten, instruction is bilingual in French and German, with 13 hours per week in each language.
École Voltaire Berlin is a private French establishment within the AEFE network, with two Berlin campuses serving children ages 3 to 12. It offers the French national curriculum with a bilingual Franco‑German program. In Maternelle, instruction is shared equally between French and German (13 hours per week per language), with curricula adapted to Berlin. In Élementaire, about 55% of lessons are in French and 45% in German, with German used in several subjects and English introduced from CE2 (two hours per week). Since October 2024 the school is recognised as an Ersatzschule under private sponsorship by the Verein zur Förderung der französischen Bildung in Berlin e.V., whose managing sponsor is Ms. Deppe‑Prugnaud. The two campuses host a cantine served by Leckerlogisch, and Friday Garderie. The school emphasises outdoor learning, arts, and language development, with after-school activities via Cours et Jardins and Wednesday activities with Berlin Music School, including Capsule productions.
