English is the language of instruction and the majority of school life is conducted in English. All class teachers are native English speakers or native-standard English speakers. German is taught from Year 1 (age 5) with native speaker (DaM) and non-native (DaF) tracks, following the North Rhine-Westphalia curriculum. In addition to German, there are Spanish and French lessons, and English as an Additional Language (EAL) is an integral part of school life for students who don't speak English.
