The European School Frankfurt (ESF) is one of the 12 official schools across Europe that are jointly administered by the governments of the European Union. This school was built primarily for the children of employees of the European Central Bank (ECB), headquartered in Frankfurt. Located in Praunheim, the ESF provides a multicultural, multilingual and multi-denominational curriculum from kindergarten (age four) to grade 12 and offers instruction in 14 European languages. The program features optional literary subjects like Latin and ancient Greek and intercultural activities like "European Hours." Graduates from the European School Frankfurt are entitled to earn the European Baccalaureate degree, which allows them to study at universities in any EU country, as well as at select higher education institutions worldwide. Children whose parents work for the ECB pay no tuition, while all others pay fees ranging from 2,400 euros to 4,500 euros per year. For parents who are not part of the ECB community, it is very difficult - if not impossible - to enroll their child in the English track of this school, although there are occasionally openings in the French or Italian programs.
