Willkommen!
The German-American School Association of Southern California, Inc. (GASA) is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation, founded in 1954. GASA offers classroom-based German language programs to children ages 4 - 17 years in its Saturday Schools and ages 3 - 5 years in its Kinderland Schools. Parent & Me classes for the age 1-3 years are provided in our Saturday School in Brea/Yorba Linda and are planned to start fall 2013 in Temple City.
Our Saturday Schools offer classes from 9 am to 12 pm on Saturdays at 11 different campuses throughout the Southland. The Kinderland Schools offer their program twice weekly from 9 am to 12 pm. Our school year coincides with the public school calendar.
The opening of our new campus in Las Vegas took place March 9, 2013.
We are now offering small group online classes twice a week. For further information please contact our office.
The schools are open to students of all cultural and language backgrounds who are interested in learning another language and thereby also strengthen their English skills using the schools' German language program. Research has shown that foreign language learning not only improves understanding of the students' native language, but enhances listening skills, improves memory and gives a new perspective and understanding of language itself.
We are offering a German Immersion Camp at Big Bear, 23 June - 29 June 2013
