To all Students, Teachers, Members, and Friends of GIS,
We hope you’re having a wonderful summer! All of our teachers left for Germany, China, and other parts of the world to teach German, and visit family and friends during the summer. We welcome them back, one by one, and are excited about our August and fall classes. Do join us for German classes and learn a language and learn a culture!
Early Registration Discounts are in effect for all classes – the Early Registration Discount for the August class ends today.
