Regular language classes are offered in English, French and Latin, in addition to the bilingual German-English track. Business English is taught as a separate subject in years 9 and 10, with content aligned to economics and legal theory and the option to take the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry English for Business exam. For English-speaking children, German as a Foreign Language or German as a Second Language courses are offered if required; admission prerequisites for the German-English class are based on CEFR levels, with Goethe-Institut certificates available for language levels (A2, B1, B2).
Bilingual teaching has been offered since 2013. One out of the two classes in each grade is bilingual (German-English) in grades 5 through 11: 5b, 6b, 7b, 8b, 9b, 10b, 11b. In these classes, at least three science or social studies subjects are taught in English, and English is taught at a notably higher level. A second pedagogue, usually a language assistant, supports these classes. The aim is the Bavarian Abitur degree, not the International Baccalaureate.
