The Europa School UK provides a multilingual education for pupils from age 4 to 18, culminating in the International Baccalaureate Diploma. In Primary, half the week is taught in English and the other half in French, German or Spanish. In Secondary, History and Geography are studied in a second language, building academic depth and intercultural understanding. The Baccalaureate framework offers deep study in some areas while preserving a broad education to age 18, and the school has an excellent academic record with most graduates going on to higher education.
The school offers weekly 30-minute instrumental lessons within school hours for Year 2 and older, taught by visiting teachers across instruments such as violin, viola, cello, saxophone, clarinet, flute, brass, guitar, drums, oboe, piano and voice. After-school activities include Art Club and Story Telling, and a broad programme of arts and cultural activities complements the academic year. The Duke of Edinburgh Awards are part of the extra-curricular offering.
Educational trips and exchanges form a core part of Europa School UK's European & Global Dimension, including opportunities such as language exchanges (Year 4 and above, with hosting or visiting France, Germany, Spain or Italy) and trips like Eurosport, Model European Council, and Euroscola. European Hours give pupils from Year 4 upwards the chance to work on cross-language projects with a global focus, including 3D maps of Europe and art/environmental projects. Students participate in language exchanges and international activities to broaden cultural understanding.
A wide range of after-school activities enriches social and cultural life, with on-site Culham After School Club operating daily for care until 18:00.
