Curriculum

Classes are available at four levels of instruction. At each level, students read about and are introduced to the countries where many of their ancestors came from. They will learn German culture and heritage while they are learning new language skills.

Our curriculum will prepare the student for the American Association for Teachers of German test (AATG) for possible high school credit and/or placement. We also prepare for AP testing for college credit.

Our school year runs from September to June, which coincides with the public school calendar. Age appropriate textbooks that meet current standards of foreign language teaching are imported from Germany.

 

Faculty

To ensure that our children receive the highest quality of instruction, our teachers are selected for both their knowledge of German and their teaching ability. Most of our teachers are natives of German speaking countries.
