The European School System

The European School RheinMain pursues the aim common to all European Schools i.e. the “Basic Principles and Objectives” expressed by the Secretary General of European Schools, which are:

• to instil confidence in pupils regarding their cultural identity – the basis of their development as citizens of Europe
• to provide pupils with a sound all-round education based on a wide range of subjects from nursery through to university entrance
• to attain proficiency both in one’s native language and in foreign languages
• to promote knowledge in Mathematics and Natural Sciences throughout a pupil’s school career
• to nurture a ‘global attitude’; this a focal point in Humanities lessons
• to support creativity in Music and Performing Arts and to instil a cultural appreciation of European heritage
• to develop talent in sport and to promote a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise and participation in sports events
• to aid and support pupils in their subject choices; when pupils are in the higher secondary classes, experienced counsellors advise in matters of university entrance and careers guidance
• to uphold values such as tolerance, co-operation, communication skills; the promotion of good social conduct towards fellow school members
• to prepare pupils personally, socially and academically for the next phase in higher education
