We have classes from toddler to adult, 30 Saturdays a year. Most of our classes are in beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Our faculty is experienced teachers from Germany, Switzerland and the US, selected both for their knowledge of German and teaching ability. German is spoken in the classroom as much as possible. Students are taught to read and write in German and are introduced to German customs, history, culture, literature and songs. Toddler, preschool and kindergarten classes are taught German through rhymes, games, finger plays, stories, songs and art. Classes from first grade through high school focus on conversation along with reading comprehension and writing. We also offer test prep classes for DSD1, AP and DSD2.
