1. Admission follows three categories. Cat I includes children of employees of the European Central Bank, EIOPA, AMLA and other European institutions. Cat II includes children of employees of other European institutions and companies that have signed a financing agreement with the ESF, admitted with priority if places are available after Cat I. Cat III covers private enrolments and is admitted upon availability. 2. Enrolment for school year 2025/2026 runs from 1 December 2024 to 28 February 2025; late registrations for the French, Italian and Spanish sections extend to 31 May 2025 in exceptional cases. Decisions on enrolment are sent out in April 2025 at the latest. 3. Applications must be complete in original form and signed by both legal guardians, with all accompanying documents. Accompanying documents may be provided as copies; originals are not required. Documents must be in German, English or French, with certified translations if necessary. For enrolments in Cat I and II, an employer confirmation must be attached. 4. The school does not keep a waiting list. Only applications for the next school year are accepted. During the school year, applications are considered only for Cat I or Cat II if pupils are not enrolled in Frankfurt. 5. Cat III private enrolments are admitted upon availability. The Enrolment Policy governs Cat III admissions and the overall process. 6. For school year 2026/2027, enrollment forms will be on the website as of 1 December 2025 and the enrolment period expires on 28 February 2026. Applications during the school year are considered only for Cat I and Cat II for pupils not enrolled in Frankfurt.

European School Frankfurt delivers the European Curriculum for ages 4 to 18, culminating in the European Baccalaureate. The school, part of the European Schools network, operates with language policy that assigns a dominant language at enrolment and delivers instruction in official EU languages through mother tongue sections and vehicular language sections. The campus houses nursery through secondary education across two buildings, with a Nursery P1–P2 modular building and a Main Building for Primary and Secondary, plus well-served canteens and a staffed Kiosk. The school offers four language sections—German, English, French and Italian—with Spanish added in 2018, and SWALS available where no language section exists. Facilities include a library serving all taught languages and a range of library events. The KiVa anti-bullying program reinforces wellbeing, while pupils engage in language study, intercultural projects and scientific work through project-based activities, theatre, music, art and sport.
