In years 10 and 11 the school offers a number of International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) courses, and will in the near future offer the German MSA (Mittlerer Schulabschluss).

In Years 12 and 13, the school offers the internationally-recognised IB Diploma Program (IBDP).

In September 2000, the school moved into a large campus at Am Postfenn to accomodate its secondary school students.
