German is the language of instruction in the bilingual program, with Spanish as the host-country language and taught as a second language and mother tongue. English and French are highly valued foreign languages, with additional programs and opportunities to demonstrate language skills (e.g., Cambridge Exams, DELF, European Youth Parliament, Model United Nations). English proficiency is described as excellent, and foreign-language offerings include extensive exposure beyond regular classroom instruction.

The German International Abitur is recognized, with some adaptations to the Spanish system to obtain official recognition.
