The European School Frankfurt (ESF) is one of the 13 official schools across Europe jointly supervised/run by the governments of the Member States of the European Union. The school was built primarily for the children of employees of the European institutions, e.g. European Central Bank (ECB) but actually, the ESF is open to all children as far as places are available.
The ESF is located in the Frankfurt quarter Praunheim and also proposes after-school care. The school offers 5 language sections: German, English, French, Italian and Spanish.
The ESF provide children with a multilingual and multicultural education at nursery, primary and secondary levels. It follows the European School curriculum and offers the European Baccalaureate diploma which allows graduates to study at universities in any EU country and is also recognized around the world.
Children whose parents work for the ECB or other EU institutions (so-called Category I) pay no tuition, while others (so-called Category II or III) tuition varies according to the category and the school level (nursery, primary or secondary).
