Our students vary widely in age and come with different language backgrounds, abilities, and motivations. Our curriculum is designed to accommodate these differences, and we take great care to assign students to those classes that will give them the best learning opportunities. The age span in children's classes seldom exceeds two or three years All language classes are conducted in German. As the students learn the language, they will also become familiar with social and cultural practices in the German-speaking countries in Europe.
For the school year 2010/11 we plan to offer the following classes:
Kindergarten / Grade 1
The Kindergarten class emphasizes comprehension and speaking skills, integrated with play, music and crafts. This class is designed for children with little exposure to German outside the classroom as well as German-speaking children.
