Multilingualism and Language Sections
- In the German and English language section German or English is the predominant language of instruction. Thus, for English speaking children, the mother tongue remains their first language throughout their school years. Children whose native language is neither German nor English are assigned to a section according to their dominant language.
- When the child starts school in grade 1 (P1), lessons in the first foreign language, e.g. French or German, begin.
- From the sixth grade (S1), children learn a second foreign language (L2) before a third European language of the member states of the European Union can be taken in the ninth grade (S4). From the eleventh grade (S6), another foreign language can be learned.
- Not only are individual subjects at the primary level (music, art, and sports) taught multilingually and follow a multilingual approach but designated European lessons from grade 3 onward bring children from the two language sections together for games, cultural and artistic activities and projects.
- The European School’s multilingualism strategy provides for individual support for students who only attend the school from grade 5 onwards or students joining the school community at other times.
- During the gradual development of the school, students from internationally mobile families can be admitted to any grade level and receive individual language support.
