About the MGLE German School.
Manitobans for German Language Education â a charitable, non-profit organization based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Who we are
In the tradition of Saturday schools, we are dedicated to promoting German language and culture through engaging, high-quality instruction. We offer German classes for all ages, from Kindergarten to Grade 12, as well as programs for adults, welcoming both native and non-native speakers. Our goal is to create a supportive and inclusive environment where students at all levels can develop their language skills and deepen their connection to German-speaking cultures.
Our mission is to provide a superior educational experience based on cognitive, creative and social learning skills. Our students will gain a genuine understanding of German culture, traditions and 21st century life, in a friendly, safe, and open atmosphere.
Our concept
The German Language School teaches all aspects of the German language in speaking, reading, writing and aural/oral comprehension. Students are prepared to communicate effectively in German, use correct grammar, appropriate vocabulary, standard orthography and correct pronunciation.
Cultural, geographical and historical topics appropriate to each level are an integral part of the curriculum. We follow the DaF-Rahmenlehrplan. Learn more about the Rahmenplan.
Our classes
Kâ12
Kindergarten classes are fun! We allow our youngest students to learn German in a playful, interactive and flourishing learning environment. High school students can obtain high school credits and prepare for the Sprachdiplom 1 and 2 (DSD 1 & DSD 2).
Learn moreAdult Classes
German adult classes at various levels are offered on different days at the Cornish Library. The primary focus is on developing communication skills in everyday situations. Our native German-speaking teachers make learning German an enjoyable experience.
Learn moreOur students
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 mixed-level 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 students learn the language, they will also become familiar with social and cultural practices in the German-speaking countries in Europe.
