Greeting from the Principal
Dear parents
Frankfurt's most famous son Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said: "He who does not know foreign languages, knows nothing of his own." I believe that Goethe is absolutely right about this and would like to offer your children a bilingual environment from the very beginning: in the language of Goethe and in the world language of English.
Our school opened its doors in August 2020 in Oberursel, just a few kilometres north of Frankfurt in the idyllic region of Taunus. Our teaching follows the curricula of the state of Hesse as well as the proven concept of the SIS schools.
In addition to bilingual education, the focus is on promoting tolerance and openness, independent thinking and responsible action – locally anchored, but at the same time as citizens of an international, global community.
We look forward to welcoming you to our school!
Sincerely
Daniel Lauris
