German is the primary language of instruction, supplemented by English and French through immersive methods from grade 5. The trilingual approach is central to the school's identity. European exchange programmes through Erasmus+ and eTwinning add real-world language practice.
The school operates a trilingual model with German, English, and French. Subjects are taught using immersive language acquisition methods rather than traditional foreign language classes alone.
Immersive language acquisition (immersiver Spracherwerb) begins in grade 5 for both English and French. This means students learn subjects through the languages rather than just studying the languages in isolation.
