A sweet treat for all...

This year the Parents’ Association on behalf of all parents initiated a new “Danke” project. In mid-June over 400 mini-cupcakes and cookies were hand delivered by board members to each of the lounges for teachers and all support staff to enjoy along with a card expressing our thank you. This initiative was a small gesture to acknowledge our appreciation for all...

As part of a larger and on-going communication project within the Parents’ Association, the PA updated their logo in the spring. The brief for this project was to create a more modern identity for our PA with a logo more closely projecting an image of partnership within our own school as well as with other European schools. For this task we...

Universities Abroad: Application Support -...

Dear Parents, Trends are constantly changing in higher education, so it is of great importance to have up to date information in order to be able to make a university application stand out. Having high grades and test scores on students’ application are far from being the only indicator of the future career and the path to get there. For this reason...

Car Sharing Map Is Back!...

Dear Parents, Our Car Sharing Map is back! This is an application we introduced in 2012 or so, and needed updating because Google changed their Maps API. Thanks to our intern, Luis, it is live again. Check if anybody is offering rides to or from the school, and/or enter your details if you want to offer a ride or are searching for...

Student Exchanges - Students Looking...

The Parents' Associations of the European School run an informal network, Intercambio, to facilitate the exchange of students between the European schools. Not all schools are willing or able to accept exchange students, but most have been able to organise it. But this only works if host familes are found. Even if your child does not attend the same class...

Dear Parents,

Please have a look at their profiles here - accessible to logged-in members only - and consider allowing them into your families to profit from this unique opportunity.

If you are not a member of the Parents' Association, but a parent of an ESF student, you can contact office@esfparents.org and request the students' motivation letters.

ESF Talk: “Guiding your child on a path to a unique and meaningful life”

Details: Published: 23 March 2018 23 March 2018; Hits: 1028 1028

The European School Frankfurt (ESF) Secondary Cycle and the Parents Association (PA) invite parents to an info session on

“Guiding your child on a path to a unique and meaningful life”

Wednesday, 11 April at 17:30 in the Cinema room (C5.02) of the ECB main building.

We want our children to be “successful” adults, but how do we define and measure “success”?

Most parents would agree that they would like their children to become responsible, independent, motivated, and self-reliant adults who will lead a meaningful life. However, each child’s individual potentials and challenges cannot be addressed by a single formula or defined goal. How can we advise and guide our children to be able to negotiate their own paths without getting in the way? How do we help them to explore passions and develop their talents? How do we engage them in the conversation of defining their own successes and meaning in life?
