Parents wishing to enroll their children in the French education system will find a veritable campus tucked away in the northwest corner of Frankfurt amid private garden plots and a vast meadow. Three schools are housed within this sprawling education complex: the école maternelle (preschool), école élémentaire (primary school) and the lycée (high school).

Nearly 700 students are enrolled in the private, tuition-based school. While approximately 75 percent are French, as many as 26 nationalities are represented in the three schools. Tuition fees range from 2,700 euros in preschool to 3,300 euros in high school.

The school is an Ersatzschule, which means that 60% of the classes are taught in French and the remaining 40% in German. Students who graduate from the Lycée earn the French Baccalauréat certificate. A prerequisite for entry is sound knowledge of the French language.
