Curriculum |
| We offer classes for toddlers, children beginning at Pre-school/ Kindergarten age as well as adult courses. The School offers several instructional programs: |
| * TODDLER/PRESCHOOL: This is appropriate for ages 2-4, and the toddler classes require parent participation as needed. |
| * YOUTH: Children and youths attend classes divided into seven levels. These levels do not precisely correspond to the public school grades, but are assigned according to the age group and knowledge of German. Two levels may be combined into one class. The minimum age for children's Kindergarten enrollment is five years. |
| Level 7 offers instruction which also includes the literature, history, and culture of German speaking countries. Students may have the opportunity to take the AATG test for high school credits. |
*
ADULT: We have classes for beginner, intermediate, and
advanced level. |
Teaching
Methods |
The School supplies modern textbooks designed to capture and keep the student´s interest, and employing both conversational as well as grammatical teaching techniques. German is spoken in the classroom as much as possible. |
Regular classroom instruction is supplemented by other learning activities such as German movies, lectures, singing, etc. Whenever possible, one half hour per Saturday is set aside for these instructions which serve the purpose to introduce students to the German cultural heritage, and to train their ears for various German accents, and patterns of speech. Class room cultural activities include: Halloween, Laternenlauf, St. Martin, Nikolaustag, Weihnachtsfeier, Fasching, Valentinstag, Ostern and Muttertag. |
In addition, the School maintains a continuously updated library of German books and videos for children as well as adults. Students are encouraged to check out these items during recess. |
| Homework is regarded as an essential part of learning and an extension of classroom instruction, and is, therefore, assigned weekly. |
| Report cards are issued at the end of each semester. |
