Phorms Frankfurt is a private, bilingual German-English school network providing a seamless, full-day educational journey from kindergarten to the Abitur. It operates two campuses in the Rhine-Main region, combining local roots with a global educational perspective.

Term structure

Two semesters

Teaching approach

The school's educational philosophy is built on five pillars: Culture (bilingualism), Competence (STEM and media literacy), Care (individual support), Campus (modern learning environments), and Consistency (a stable, full-day educational pathway). It emphasizes a child-centred approach that fosters curiosity, resilience, and intercultural competence. The school is a certified "STEM-friendly school" and a "Digital School," reflecting its commitment to future-oriented, technology-integrated learning.

Programmes

The school follows the Hessian curriculum, with instruction delivered in both German and English. Science and mathematics are taught in English at the secondary level, while subjects like history, politics, and German are taught in German. The secondary school offers both G8 and G9 pathways to the Abitur. The curriculum is enriched by STEM-focused projects, media education, and social engagement opportunities, such as internships and the Girls' and Boys' Day.

Outcomes

As a state-recognised school, Phorms Frankfurt offers the Abitur as its highest school-leaving qualification, alongside the Realschulabschluss and the Fachhochschulreife. The school provides structured university and career guidance starting in Year 10, including visits to career information centres and support for internships. Alumni are frequently involved in mentoring programmes to assist current students with their post-graduation planning.

Learning support

The school provides a comprehensive support system, including a school psychologist who is a qualified child and youth therapist. Students with German as an additional language receive tailored instruction, and those with reading or spelling difficulties benefit from a multi-stage support model in partnership with the DUDEN Institute. Additionally, level leaders provide consistent, long-term guidance to monitor individual progress and support students through academic or social challenges.

Admissions

Phorms Frankfurt offers a seamless educational journey from kindergarten through to secondary school. For families relocating from abroad who cannot attend trial days in person, the school provides a tailored alternative admissions procedure to ensure a smooth enrollment process. Transfers from public schools are possible at any time, provided the child possesses the necessary language skills.

Calendar

The school operates a full-day schedule with supervision available from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Regular events, such as Open House days, are held throughout the academic year to provide prospective families with insights into the school's bilingual teaching methods and facilities. Detailed calendars for the kindergarten, primary, and secondary levels are available for the 2025/26 and 2026/27 academic years.
