Reception Teacher

The Phorms School Frankfurt is a bilingual German-English and state-recognised alternative school with two locations. Our Phorms Frankfurt City primary school with a reception class is located in the conveniently situated Holzhausenviertel. With a size of only about 300 students, this is a particularly family-oriented and urban school location. The promotion of individual strengths and differentiated teaching play a major role within our all-day concept. The international pedagogical team accompanies the students with our bilingual concept from the primary school with the introductory level to the transition to the secondary school. Thanks to the trusting atmosphere, all children can develop their full potential with the support of our teachers and become open-minded young people with a wide range of interests during their time at school.

Phorms Frankfurt is part of the Phorms Education SE network of bilingual schools and nurseries, that has been enriching the educational landscape in Germany since 2006.
