The Lycée Franco-Allemand Hamburg (LFA Hamburg) is a Franco-German high school co-financed by France and Germany and part of the AEFE network. It serves pupils aged 10 to 18 and offers a bilingual curriculum that blends French and German educational traditions. The partner language is taught daily by native-speaking teachers, and English is introduced from CM2 with additional European languages available. From 4th grade, more subjects are taught jointly in both languages, and from 2nde German and French students study in mixed classes with about half the courses in each language. The school supports bilingual learning across subjects and collaboration across languages; the Franco-German Baccalaureate enables entry to higher education in both countries, and Erasmus+ exchanges are conducted with partner schools. The campus opened at Hartsprung in 2020, with a planned Altona campus near the Elbe in late 2025. Facilities include a central CDI library, a cafeteria, lockers, and new sports halls; media projects such as radio, cinema, and DFG TV are part of the curriculum. After-school care (GBS) operates on-site.
