Academics

European School of Strasbourg teaches Bespoke Curriculum for students aged 4 to 18.

Curriculum
Education runs from the nursery cycle (age 4) to the European Baccalaureate. It is organised into three linguistic sections: German-speaking, English-speaking, and French-speaking. The school follows the standard European School curriculum; the academic syllabuses are the same for all European Schools. Secondary education culminates in the European Baccalaureate examinations at the end of year 7. The Baccalaureate is fully recognised in the European Union and in many other countries, and the Examining Board is chaired by a university professor and includes examiners from EU countries. To be eligible to sit the examinations, students must have completed at least the last two years of secondary education at a European School.

Student Teacher Ratio
Nursery has about 100 children across three language sections with four teachers and two classroom assistants; the primary school has about 350 students in 15 classes, with class sizes ranging from 16 to 30.

Higher Education Progression
The European Baccalaureate certificate authorises admission to universities and higher education institutions in the European Union on the same basis as other secondary leaving certificates.

Gifted and Talented
Advanced courses are offered as options in S6 and S7, including Adv. L1, Adv. L2 and Adv. Math, as part of the orientation project for higher-level study.

Admissions

Admissions
1. The admission process begins on 25 February 2025. Review the European equivalency table to determine the appropriate level for your child, and consult the table of birth years to confirm the correct level. Admission to M1 is possible only if the child has turned 4 years old by 31 December of the requested academic year. Mid-year admissions are not possible unless the applicant belongs to Category A and the parent entered position after 25 August 2025.

2. Language and level alignment: Education is provided from nursery to the European Baccalaureate and is organized into three linguistic sections: German-speaking, English-speaking, and French-speaking. The chosen section must align with the child's native or habitual language, and admission may require passing tests. For Category A students whose native language is not taught at the European School of Strasbourg, one of the three working languages must be selected. Language 1 determination is generally definitive at enrolment.

3. For secondary applications: Tests are conducted in Language 1 and Language 2 due to linguistic specificity. Applications for the 7th year of secondary education are only considered if the student was enrolled in the 6th year. The education pathway runs from Nursery to Secondary and the diploma preparation has linguistic implications. No tuition fees are required at the institution, which is a Public Local Institution of International Education (EPLEI); however, cafeteria costs and regular school supplies may apply.

4. Admission Criteria and priority: Categories include A (children of EU institution staff) and B1–B5 (staff of EU member states, international organizations, embassies/consulates, etc.). When the number of applicants in a category exceeds places, priority is given to children with contractual mobility obligations and to siblings currently enrolled. If your child cannot be admitted to the European School, alternative specialized educational programs are available in Strasbourg with their own timelines and criteria. Nursery and Primary cycles should contact the local town hall, and the Secondary cycle should contact the CIO office.

5. Capacity and alternatives: The number of applications is high and places are limited, particularly in the francophone section. Not all candidatures can be admitted. Families are encouraged to explore other schooling options in Strasbourg to plan for different possibilities.
