Goethe-Gymnasium, Frankfurt

Goethe-Gymnasium is a gymnasium (secondary school) named after notable Frankfurt native Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832).

It is currently the only state funded school in Germany that offers students the option of taking International Baccalaureate examinations.

The bilingual stream offers additional subjects taught in English, such as history, geography, philosophy, biology and social sciences.

Further, students can choose to study Latin or French at the same time as English, beginning in grade 5, which is exceptional among state-funded secondary schools in Germany.

The school owns a cottage in Oberreifenberg, the Taunus mountain range, and it is a tradition for students to spend a week there twice a year.
