The European School, Karlsruhe, commonly known as ESK, is one of three official European Schools in Germany. It was the fifth of fourteen such schools to be established in Europe since 1953. The school currently has around one thousand students on role across the kindergarten, primary school and secondary school. The school has offered the European Baccalaureate since 1968.[citation needed]
As of 1995[update], at least 5/6th of the total number of students were not children of EU workers.[1]
