Our bilingual private school welcomes your child into a vibrant German-English community, with campuses in the lively Holzhausen district in Frankfurt and the green surroundings of Steinbach in the Taunus region. As part of the nationwide Phorms network, we have been dedicated for over 15 years to bilingual education, full-day learning, and fostering curiosity and a love of discovery. From kindergarten through to secondary school: one seamless learning journey.
Come and visit us on 31 January 2026 at our campus in Frankfurt City or on 7 February 2026 in Steinbach.
We look forward to seeing you.
German and English are equally present in everyday learning and school life. Children grow up naturally in both languages and cultures. In doing so, they develop openness, confidence and ease in intercultural interactions.
Phorms places great value on strong scientific education and on helping students use media and AI in a thoughtful and responsible way. We also develop important skills for the future, laying a solid foundation for university studies and professional life.
We work with every student on a personal level. We strengthen their talents and support them when challenges arise — with additional educators at Primary School, small class sizes and a wide range of extracurricular activities.
Dedicated teachers using internationally proven teaching methods, modern and well-equipped learning spaces, and our own IT team create the best possible conditions for enjoyment in learning.
Phorms provides a continuous educational pathway from Kindergarten to Abitur. Families can rely on a secure, consistent schooling with full-day structure, guaranteed supervision and teaching.
As a certified STEM-friendly school, we actively foster our students’ interest and skills in maths, computer science, science and technology through practical and innovative teaching methods. At Phorms Frankfurt, your child benefits not only from strong theoretical foundations but also from the opportunity to apply their knowledge through experiments, projects and interactive learning environments.
We are proud to have been recognised as a Digital School. This certification for our Secondary School affirms our commitment to future-oriented learning and the ongoing development of our digital infrastructure. With the support of digital education experts and in line with the official Guidelines for Digital Schools, we are continuously refining our teaching concepts, strengthening our school profile and promoting innovative learning approaches. This recognition motivates us to continue advancing digitalisation and to provide our students with the best possible preparation for a digital future.
Thanks to the DigitalPakt Schule, our IT infrastructure has been comprehensively modernised. High-speed WiFi provides stable internet access in every classroom. Each class is equipped with tablets and interactive whiteboards to make learning more varied and individual. Digital learning platforms also allow our pupils to access teaching materials at home. This way, we combine traditional education with modern technologies for a contemporary and engaging learning experience.
"At Phorms, children are seen as individuals which really strengthens them emotionally. I am convinced that emotionally confident children are less likely to be bullied and grow up to be kinder people."
“I recommend Phorms to anyone with children not just because of the bilingualism but also because there are no cancelled classes, the school offers great opening hours and you are always in direct contact with the teachers.”
"What always sets Phorms apart for me is the whole-day care. I think that makes everyday life much easier for many parents. I know my child is at school at 9 a.m. and stays until 4 p.m., has activities, gets a proper meal, quality lessons and breaks. He enjoys being there and he is always learning something new.”
“What matters most to me in a school is feeling comfortable and wanting to go. At Phorms, I like the whole package.”
“What I love most about Phorms is how much English we speak. It is not just classroom English we also learn everyday expressions and idioms.”

Our teaching follows the Hessian curriculum, so a transfer in either direction is possible at any time, depending on the child’s language skills.
Our teachers come from a wide range of English-speaking countries around the world.
As a state-recognised school, we offer the Abitur as the highest school-leaving qualification. Students can also achieve the Realschulabschluss and the Fachhochschulreife at our school.
A transfer from a public primary school to our bilingual secondary school is possible if the child already has considerable exposure to English beyond basic primary school lessons. Our many years of experience at various internationally oriented schools show that children’s language skills generally develop well, provided they are motivated.
For families still living abroad who cannot attend trial days in person, we offer an alternative admissions procedure tailored to this situation. This ensures a smooth enrollment process for international families. Please contact our Admissions Team for further information.
Do you have questions about our school, our kindergarten or the administration process? We will be delighted to assist you with any queries.
