There’s no doubt about it: Sachsenhausen is Frankfurt’s nicest district. This isn’t surprising since it was hardly destroyed during World War II and is located close to the river Main. Almost all the Frankfurt museums are lined up along the river banks in Sachsenhausen where you can also find vast sandy beaches with palm trees and beach volleyball courts during the summer time. Our school is only 10 minutes away from the museum embankment. In the friendly, modern classrooms learning the language will be easy. But attention: Don’t miss the breaks! Our cafeteria is a modern internet café where you can get cold and warm drinks. You can go over the things you’ve learned with your friends while enjoying a cup of coffee.

You like discoveries and surprises? Then come to Frankfurt – a city that will astonish you in every respect. Because Frankfurt means contrasts, clichés and exaggerations. Of course Frankfurt is rich and elegant, busy and hectic - it is the home of the German Stock Exchange and also the most important financial city in the Federal Republic! Skyscrapers everywhere, everything bright and shiny – America in the middle of Europe… Behind the glamorous skyline you will find many theatres, museums, galleries and… clubs! Do you want to dance all night in the world-famous Cocoon Club of DJ Sven Väth? Many clubbers come from Berlin and London for having fun here. You are better off! You are here already… Although Frankfurt has by far less inhabitants than Munich or Berlin, the Main-metropolis is more international and cosmopolitan than any other German city. Maybe this has to do with the more than 50 million passengers frequenting Frankfurt airport every year or with the uncountable people visiting more than 40 international trade fairs? The reason could also be that many foreigners made Frankfurt their hometown: Frankfurt has 28% fellow citizens from abroad! These 170.000 newcomers are from 180 different countries. In the summertime you will notice how colorful this city is: During the Culture Parade groups from different ethnic backgrounds parade through the streets dancing in traditional costumes to ethnic music.

With a host family, in a youth hotel, on campus or maybe you share an apartment – which is a very typical way of living for young people in Germany.

In and around Frankfurt there’s plenty to discover, because the Rhein-Main-metropolis and the neighboring cities Aschaffenburg, Darmstadt, Mainz and Wiesbaden form the fifth largest metropolitan area in Germany, the Rhein-Main-area. On our discovery tour to Mainz we follow Roman history and get to know Johannes Gutenberg who invented the letterpress printing here in the 15th century. In the Wiesbaden casino you’ll learn where emperors, nobility and famous people like Fjodor Dostojewski, Richard Wagner and Elvis Presley tried their luck and gambled away their fortune. In Frankfurt we will show you the birthplace of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and in the Städel museum you’ll see the portrait of this world famous writer. However, Frankfurt has more to offer than arts and culture. How about catching a view over the rooftops of Frankfurt from high above? You don’t suffer from vertigo? Here we go – your activity guide will take you up the 200 meter high Commerzbank Tower, Europe’s highest business skyscraper for a bird’s eye view of downtown Frankfurt. From here you will discover the exotic palm garden, the famous Frankfurt Opera House, the Opel car plant, Frankfurt airport and many other landmarks. You don’t have any plans for the weekend?
