What is a Eurocampus?
A Eurocampus is a shared educational campus where two or more European schools—typically French and German institutions—operate in close cooperation while maintaining their respective national education systems.
The Eurocampus Model
At the German European School Manila (GESM) and the Lycée Français de Manille (LFM), this model is reflected in the following ways:
-
Both schools share a common campus and facilities
-
Students learn in a multicultural and multilingual environment
-
The schools collaborate in areas of administration and community life
-
Each institution maintains its own curriculum, academic structure, and identity
The Eurocampus model is founded on the principles of European cooperation, multilingual education, cultural exchange, and international understanding.

THE IDENTITY OF GESM WITHIN
THE EUROCAMPUS
Within the Eurocampus framework, GESM combines German educational traditions with an international and European outlook. Its identity is shaped by:
German academic standards

A multicultural school community
As part of the Eurocampus, GESM is not solely a national school abroad, but an institution grounded in an international and European educational context.

Originating in Manila, it established a framework in which different educational traditions coexist within a shared environment, preparing students to engage confidently in an interconnected and globalised world.
