Education and Schools in Frankfurt

Many English-speaking expats choose to send their children to one of Frankfurt’s many international schools as being taught in their native tongue, children are exposed to activities and sports that are more like what they are accustomed to. However, bilingual schools teaching in French and German, as well as Japanese, French and Greek speaking schools are also available.

The Frankfurt International School is an English school, which is the largest and second oldest international school in Germany, providing education to around 1,800 students from over 50 countries, ranging in ages from three to Grade 12.

However, private international schools such as these can be quite expensive, with school fees being as high as €11,000 per high school student per year, while pre-school and elementary school fees are roughly €5,500 per student per year.

School holidays in Frankfurt are in April, July, August, October, with the Christmas break over December.
