These elements underpin social and emotional development across regular classes, form periods, extracurricular activities, trips and school projects.

From Grade 2, English is the language of instruction. The school teaches the mother tongues of students, as well as German and Spanish. In the first grade of high school two foreign language courses are offered: German and Spanish. English language learning is organized to prepare students for learning in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Bilingual teaching at the Foundation of International Education prepares students to learn in international programmes and to use English with ease and at a high level.
