Welcome and Pertinent Information

We welcome all pre-teens and teens, aged 8 to 16 years, who are interested in learning and exploring the language and culture of German-speaking countries. Our courses are designed for:

• Beginners: Little or no prior knowledge of German
• Intermediate and Advanced Students: Those who can communicate in a German-speaking environment or speak German at home.

All of our teachers are native German speakers or have comparable proficiency. Each school year emphasizes seasonal traditions and special events in German-speaking countries.

Language Tests

We are affiliated with the Goethe-Institut, the official German cultural organization, and are licensed to offer and administer the prestigious Goethe language exams, recognized world-wide as proof of German language skills.

Note: In-Person classes in Cinco Ranch/Katy and Fort Bend County, and The Woodlands are currently postponed while we search for suitable locations for our school.

Course Materials

Proficiency Levels

Our students often have different levels of experience in the German language.  In order for proper placement of each student, we determine the level of proficiency on the first day of a course, and form the classes accordingly. For a description of our various classes and levels, please check this post on our website.

Age Guidelines for Classes

We indicate the approximate age level of the students in the class in our course descriptions. However, if your child has a birthday during the Fall through Summer Terms and no longer falls in the age group, the student will remain with the teacher with whom the classes started in the fall.

Tuition Discounts

• Returning students: Receive a 10% discount for 10-week classes that meet twice a week.
• Early Registration:  Enjoy additional discounts when registering early (details available in session announcements)

Cancellation

We reserve the right to cancel a course that does not have the requisite number of students enrolled.
