German is taught in both tracks, with curricula including Deutsch als Zweitsprache (in the French track) and Deutsch als Partnersprache (in the French track) as well as Deutsch in the German track. French is taught in both tracks (Français langue maternelle in the French track and Français langue partenaire in the German track). English is taught from 5th grade as a main subject through Abitur, with Cambridge certificates offered on campus. Latin is offered (from 4th grade to 2nde) and Spanish is offered (from 4ème to Terminale).
The school offers bilingual French-German education with two language tracks: the French track (Français langue maternelle) and the German track (Français langue partenaire). The AbiBac bilingual diploma is offered, enabling students to obtain both the French Baccalauréat and the German Allgemeine Hochschulreife; AbiBac remains in effect through the graduating class of 2027.
German as a second language (Deutsch als Zweitsprache, DAZ) is provided for students joining Germany to acquire German. English is taught from the 5th grade as a core subject through Abitur, with Cambridge First (B2) and Cambridge Advanced (C1) certificates available on campus.
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.
