ALEA SCHOOL is an independent school with a cosmopolitan profile. It combines the German curriculum with that of the International Baccalaureate (IB), an internationally recognized educational standard. This offers three graduation options!
The ALEA SCHOOL curriculum is designed to meet the requirements of both the IB and the Hessian curriculum. Half of the teaching at ALEA SCHOOL will be in German and half in English. The aim is to enable every ALEA student to obtain a bilingual qualification. In addition to the core courses, there will be exciting elective courses. The goal is to integrate interdisciplinary learning opportunities throughout the curriculum and engage students in hands-on projects where they can take responsibility for their learning and develop lifelong critical thinking skills.
After completing year 10, students can decide whether they want to aim for the IB diploma or the baccalaureate. The IB Diploma can be assessed by the Ministry of Education as equivalent to the baccalaureate. Students who want an alternative to these options can pursue an American High School Diploma.
The ALEA SCHOOL class groups will comprise between 12 and 24 pupils. Each class will be further subdivided according to subject.
At ALEA SCHOOL, we offer students comprehensive and early support. In rare cases where a child needs support beyond the scope of a particular school year, the option of repeating a class may be discussed.
Depending on a child’s language abilities, both German and English are offered as additional languages and as language and literature courses for fluent speakers. From Year 7 onwards, French, Spanish or Mandarin can be offered as additional languages and for fluent speakers.

In principle, anyone can apply for a scholarship. The award committee will take various criteria into account when selecting the scholarship holders: First and foremost, the economic eligibility of an applicant family. This is based on the average household income (approx. €70,000) in the Main-Kinzig district and the applicant confirms that they have a lower household income. Voluntary commitment, special achievements or a particularly convincing application are also taken into account.
When applying for a scholarship, applicants must provide basic information, a letter of motivation and a letter of recommendation from a (class) teacher. After submission, the awarding committee will review the application and contact the applicants regarding the next steps.
At the present moment, two scholarship programs have already been confirmed.
Further scholarship programs are currently being developed.
There will be both full and partial scholarships. Depending on the type of scholarship, either all or part of the school fees will be covered by the scholarship. Both scholarship models cover tuition fees up to the 10th grade to the extent indicated.
