Additional school buildings, designed by the German firm Kersten Mertinoff & Struhk, were erected in the grounds between 1972 and 1983.

The aim is for students to be fully bilingual when they graduate from the school, so as to be equally equipped to attend either German-speaking or English-speaking universities.

[17] The bilingual[nb 1] kindergarten and pre-school focus on preparing the children for elementary school, and helping them develop self-confidence and independence.

Since July 2013 the school has been exempt from the British EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) learning and development requirements and is now guided by Baden-Württemberg's curriculum.

[18] The curriculum in the elementary school consists of German, English, mathematics, social studies & sciences, music, arts, religion and physical education.

In middle and upper school students study 10 to 13 subjects – German, English, French or Latin, mathematics, physics, chemistry, music, arts, religion or ethics, history, geography and politics.

The school has offered the International Baccalaureate since 2010;[19] it is taught in English, although students who take German as an A1 language can graduate with a "bilingual IB Diploma".
