History
The European School Frankfurt was opened in 2002 and caters for nursery school, primary school, and secondary students.
Approximately 1,500 pupils attend the school, of 45 nationalities. The original floorplan of the school was optimised for 700 students, and the doubling of the initial student count has resulted in ingenious solutions being implemented, such as making new rooms by expanding in the lobby and putting containers on the sports field so that children can learn instead of doing useless sports. In addition to the four language sections (German, English, French and Italian) of the early years, the Spanish section was opened in September 2018. For the students without a language section (SWALS), apart from Maltese, all languages spoken in the member states of the EU are taught.[2]
