School Registration Process

We accept children into our bilingual comprehensive school (German/English) who speak either German or English at a native level. Linguistic ability in the other language is desirable but not necessarily mandatory.

If we have free places, we also enroll students during the school year after successful trial days.

As of September 1, 2020, you can register your child for our new 1st classes in 2021 using the registration form. The school year 2021/22 starts from 01.08.2021.
