German is taught from kindergarten through Abitur, with native-speaking teachers guiding instruction across many core and elective subjects. German as a foreign language is provided within this framework. English begins in primary, with a four-skills approach; the Abitur certificate attests level B2 in English. The school is an official Oxford Test of English center, offering OTE for Schools at the end of the 9th grade and OTE Advanced in upper secondary, with many candidates achieving C1. French is offered as a third foreign language from 10th grade, yielding level B1 on the Abitur. The Integration in Spanish-language Instruction (ISF) program supports German-speaking students to learn Spanish in small groups from age 3, with two years of ISF before joining regular Spanish instruction. The school also hosts the Goethe-Institut and serves as an Oxford Test of English Testzentrum.
The school offers a bilingual program that enables students to learn a foreign language intensively and at a high level. Language diversity is a core part of the program, with teachers from Germany, Spain, England and other countries. Native-speaking teachers contribute across many subjects to support language development.
German language immersion is central to the DSLPA. German is taught by native-speaking teachers across core and elective subjects. From 8:00 in the morning until the last class, students immerse themselves in German. The campus functions as an intercultural learning space where languages bridge cultures.
