Шаблон:Use British EnglishThere are five French-German secondary schools known in German as Шаблон:Lang and in French as Шаблон:Lang. Mixing students, teachers and teaching methods of both countries,[1] DFG/LFAs are highly selective schools of excellence.[2][3] Their teachers are paid by the French and German states, and tuition is free of charge.[4][5]

In the spirit of post-war friendship and two years before the signing of the conciliatory Éysée Treaty between West Germany and France, the first DFG/LFA was established in Saarbrücken in 1961 as a cooperation between a French and a German school. In 1972, an agreement signed between the two states formalised the DFG/LFA as a unified school form and introduced the French-German Baccalaureate.[6][7] This agreement was last complemented by the French-German Schwerin Agreement of 2002.[8][9]

The following DFG/LFAs are in operation, two in France:

and three in Germany:

Nomenclature

In German, the DFG/LFA school form is called Шаблон:Lang, like the German secondary school type (years 5 to 12). In French, it is named Шаблон:Lang, after the French school form (years 10 to 12), although the schools also include Шаблон:Lang (years 6 to 9; see education in France).[2]

In English, one academic study called the school form "French-German School", and its final examinations "French-German Baccalaureate".[10] Other publications in English called the school form "Franco-German"[11] or "French-German high school".[12]

French-German Baccalaureate

Students at DFG/LFA schools complete their education with the bilingual French-German Baccalaureate (deutsch-französisches Abitur / baccalauréat franco-allemand). The first French-German Baccalaureate exam was sat by students of the DFG Saarbrücken in 1972.[10] The Baccalaureate is recognised by Germany as equivalent to the Шаблон:Lang, and by France as equivalent to the Шаблон:Lang, and currently governed by an agreement signed by the two countries in Schwerin in 2002.[8][9]

Students enter school in separate branches. The French-speaking branch takes seven years and starts with year 6 (Шаблон:Lang), whereas the German branch commences in year 5 (Шаблон:Lang) already because German primary school finishes earlier. German speakers complete the French-German Baccalaureate after eight grades, making it an eight-year Шаблон:Lang (some regular German schools take nine years instead). French-German co-tuition starts in year 6 and increases until year 9 (9. Klasse / troisième).

Years 10 to 12 are taught in equal shares of French and German. For these final years (Oberstufe / second cycle[13]), students are divided into subject-specific branches. They choose between three branches: L (literary sciences), ES (economics and social sciences) and S (maths and natural sciences). The S branch is split into SMP, maths and physics, and SBC, biology and chemistry.[8][9][14] This corresponds to the branch system of the French Шаблон:Lang prior to the Bac 2021 reform.[15][16] From the first French-German Baccalaureate in 1972 until 2002, there were only L, SBC and SMP branches. The Schwerin Agreement introduced the ES branch in the 2001-2002 academic year.[17]

DFG/LFA schools use a grade scale from 1 (worst) to 10 (best), which is different from both the German (6 to 1 and 0 to 15) and French scales (0 to 20, respectively). Furthermore, the final grade of the French-German Baccalaureate is based on a weighting different from both Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Lang. The final Шаблон:Lang grade is based on grades from years 10 to 12, while the Шаблон:Lang grade depends solely on final exam performance. The French-German Baccalaureate makes a compromise. Preliminary grades from years 10 to 12 count for 25 per cent of the final grade, and final exam performance makes up the remaining 75 per cent.[5]

The French-German Baccalaureate is different from and sometimes[19] confused with the AbiBac, a programme offered at regular French and German schools. The AbiBac programme is bilingual to a lesser extent than the French-German Baccalaureate. It consists of regular Шаблон:Lang and up to eight periods weekly teaching in French, or regular Шаблон:Lang with up to eight periods in German.[20][21]

Other diplomas offered at DFG/LFAs

The DFG/LFA Buc also offers the diploma Option Internationale du Baccalauréat (OIB) British track, in its Section Internationale Anglophone.[22][23]

Phase-out of former diplomas

The DFG/LFA Hamburg was an AbiBac school until 2020, and students admitted until the 2019/20 academic year still sit the AbiBac. The school admitted its first students on the French-German Baccalaureate track in 2020/21, and the first students will graduate with the French-German Baccalaureate in 2028.[24][25]

In Strasbourg, the DFG/LFA was previously the German-speaking Section Internationale of the Lycée Vauban, leading to a French Baccalauréat with OIB German. Thus, students who entered prior to the 2020-21 academic year will still graduate with this diploma. They can also switch to the Lycée International des Pontonniers in Strasbourg and do the AbiBac instead.[26] The first Strasbourg students will graduate with the French-German Baccalaureate in 2029.

French-German Шаблон:Lang

Regular French schools require their students to sit the Brevet diploma in Шаблон:Lang (year 9) in order to finish Шаблон:Lang. The same applies to DFG/LFA students in the French branch. They take a French-German version of the Шаблон:Lang.[27]

Future

As of 2022, the French and German governments are working on an update to the 2002 Schwerin agreement governing the DFG/LFAs. Metz, the capital of the French Moselle border region, is a candidate for a sixth French-German School.[28]
