Languages taught

A rich linguistic diversity

Alsace's historical and cultural heritage and its European role explain the importance of the international dimension of our academic area, starting with the richness and diversity of the languages taught.

The Strasbourg Education Authority area offers a range of language courses based on different schemes :

• French/German bilingual education: the courses of several subjects are taught in German and/or in French ;

• are taught in foreign languages (mathematics, history-geography, physical education, sciences ;
• international education and the development of international academic careers from nursery school to the baccalaureate.
