We provide our students – starting with PreK-4 through high school, and adult learners – with a caring environment based on academic excellence and individual growth. Our students improve their German language skills while experiencing traditions and culture of all German speaking countries.

We encouraging our students to take part in standardized exams providing formal proof of their language skills. Our students have the opportunity to take all levels of the German Nation Exam, the Advanced Placement “AP German Language and Culture”-exam, and last but not least the German standardized exams including the German Sprachdiplom DSD1 (level A2/B1) and DSD2 (level B2/C1).

We believe that learning multiple languages is more important in today’s global community than ever. It is an important steppingstone for deeper understanding and appreciation of other cultures.
