On Saturdays, we offer German language and culture to all members of our extended community.
All classes are on the Mountain View Campus, 310 Easy Street, and with few exceptions meet Saturdays, from 9:30am - noon.
For families with toddlers, and for preschoolers, we offer language-immersive play groups. A great way to pick up a second (or third) language early, and to make new multicultural friends! For these age groups, all language levels are mixed and welcome!
Starting with Kindergarteners, we teach German academically, and focus on conversation as well as phonetics, reading, and writing. Throughout K-6, we have several entry points for Beginners, and will advise you on where your child best fits.
After Elementary School, we present a sequence of academically rigorous Middle and High School language courses, and can offer up to 4 years of HS and college prep course credit. The goal for our students is the AP German exam, and additionally to prepare for language examinations offered by the German government which partially certify foreign students for university study in Germany. We commit to advise our students about high school credits, exams, and study abroad, and look forward to sharing our expertise and resources with you! Admission into this program is reserved for students who have completed our Elementary School program, or who can join us with previous academic German education at the A2/B1 level.
Lastly, we offer conversation-focused courses for adults, too! Join us for engaging and results-oriented German for Beginners (A1) all the way to the native speaker level (C1). These courses are offered at the same time on Saturday as our kids' courses (great for parents), and also on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday evenings.
