WHAT DOES ALFA STAND FOR?
Amicale du Lycée Franco-Allemand de Sarrebruck / Friends of the Franco-German High School in Saarbrücken
OBJECTIVES
With the help of membership fees, other donations, sponsorship and voluntary work, we can play an active part in shaping and enhancing our children’s school environment.
ACTIVITIES (SELECTION)
- School events
ALFA runs a stall at 12 school events each academic year, providing refreshments or selling delicious homemade ALFA waffles. - UNICEF Run
At this event, we provide participants with water, fruit and sweets as they make their way to the finish line. - Break-time sales
On school Saturdays, the classes take charge of the break-time sales and are supported in this by ALFA. - Parents’ Careers Forum (Year 8)
The event is organised by ALFA in collaboration with teaching staff. We also provide drinks and snacks for the participating parents. - Summer Camp in Camaret
Every summer, around 50 DFG-LFA students from Saarbrücken, Buc and Freiburg go to Camaret for two weeks. ALFA is responsible for coordinating the camp for our school, the registration process and organising travel to and from the camp. - Sale of school merchandise
ALFA sells T-shirts and jumpers in the school colours
WHAT WE SUPPORT (EXAMPLES)
- School trips
Families with additional needs can apply to ALFA for partial funding. If ALFA approves the application, the trip is usually subsidised at 20 per cent of the actual cost. - Class outings
Form teachers can apply to ALFA for a grant to help fund a class outing. As a rule, funding is provided for up to one class outing per school year. - Tablet sleeves
.New pupils in Years 5 and 6ème receive a protective sleeve from ALFA for their school tablet, so that the device can be transported safely. - Prizes and gifts
ALFA funds welcome gifts for new pupils as well as prizes for the A-level graduation ceremony, the English Contest, the quiz night or other competitions. - Chess club
The chess club has been funded by ALFA for many years. - Educational materials

Cafeteria & Canteen
Cafeteria
Here are a few snapshots from the school cafeteria:
Canteen
A healthy and varied diet is important for good health. This is particularly true when it comes to our children’s diet – especially when they eat away from home. That is why our school not only has a cafeteria, but also offers the opportunity to enjoy a nutritious lunch.
This means that pupils, as well as their parents and teachers, can use the adjacent police canteen on Mainzer Straße. It has been officially open to them since the signing of a cooperation agreement between our school and the State Police Headquarters (LPD) in 2008.
In the canteen, pupils, parents and teachers can enjoy a varied lunch menu, prepared by experts in accordance with the principles of a modern and healthy diet.

Die Französische Schule Saarbrücken und Dillingen (EFSD) ist eine Schule in Trägerschaft der Eltern unter der Verwaltungsaufsicht der Abteilung für das Unterrichtswesen im Ausland (Agence pour l’Enseignement Français à l’Etranger, AEFE). Sie ist Teil des Netzwerks der französischen Schulen in Europa (die dem französischen Außenministerium unterstellt sind) und sie ist als Ergänzungsschule vom saarländischen Bildungsministerium anerkannt. Sie bietet einen Unterricht, der den Lehrplänen des französischen Inlands entspricht und ist in erster Linie für französische Kinder bestimmt, die im Saarland leben. Sie nimmt auch Schüler anderer Nationalitäten auf, insbesondere Schüler deutscher Staatsangehörigkeit, deren Eltern eine Erziehung und Ausbildung ihrer Kinder in zwei Sprachen und Kulturen wünschen. Obgleich der Unterricht hauptsächlich auf Französisch durchgeführt wird, nehmen die deutsche Sprache und Kultur einen bevorzugten Platz darin ein. Die Schule in Saarbrücken teilt sich mit dem deutsch-französischen Gymnasium die Räumlichkeiten.
The French School of Saarbrücken and Dillingen (EFSD) is a school run by parents under the administrative supervision of the Agency for French Education Abroad (Agence pour l’Enseignement Français à l’Etranger, AEFE). It forms part of the network of French schools in Europe (which are under the authority of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and is recognised as a supplementary school by the Saarland Ministry of Education. It offers teaching in line with the French national curriculum and is primarily intended for French children living in the Saarland. It also admits pupils of other nationalities, in particular German nationals whose parents wish their children to be educated and brought up in two languages and cultures. Although lessons are mainly conducted in French, the German language and culture occupy a prominent place in the curriculum. The school in Saarbrücken shares its premises with the Franco-German High School.
