It currently educates about 830 students from around 50 nationalities and offers continuous education from 5th grade through the lycée for students aged 12 to 18. Since 1974, it has been located at Derfflingerstr. 7 in Berlin, following a Franco-German fusion begun in the 1950s. Graduates go on to top universities in France, Germany, and beyond, including the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Canada.

The school has a strong arts tradition, with theatre workshops from the 4th grade and performances in the Aula in the second semester. It maintains a sustainability program, with eco-delegates, ongoing student–teacher partnerships, and an E3D label since 2019. The school also runs activities such as a Berlin Euro Parliament program and a student‑run webradio (Radio FGB) as part of its community life.
