The European School Karlsruhe was founded in 1962. We are one of fourteen European Schools established since 1953.

We provide mother-tongue education — in different language sections — from Kindergarten up to European Baccalaureate level (university entrance) for around 1000 pupils from a wide variety of European and other backgrounds.

We are a few kilometres north of Karlsruhe city centre, in an open setting, with an excellent system of public transport and school trams and buses providing easy access for pupils from a large area around Karlsruhe.

Pupils are enrolled in one of the five language sections - Dutch, English, French, German, and Italian - so most pupils will receive most of their education in their mother tongue. Children start learning their first foreign language as soon as they join the primary school.

The European Baccalaureate is recognised as a qualification for university entrance by all member states of the European Union and by other countries including the USA.
