Featured Classes

Whether you'd like to learn German, make sure your kids stay in touch with their heritage, or just learn more about German culture and cuisine – you're in the right place. Our language school offers German classes for all ages and levels.

Adult Classes

We offer a series of introductory, intermediate and advanced classes for students who have had either no exposure or would like to brush up on their German. Each class builds and expands on the material learned in the previous class. Our classes align to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

Children's Classes

Our offer classes for children range from ages 0 -12 years. From our Krabbelgruppe, where toddlers and parents learn songs, rhymes and rhythms together, to classes for older children that bring in more academic elements and students practice using what they have learned.

Cultural & Cooking Classes

Does your mouth water when you think of Schnitzel, Späzle, and Apfelstrudel? One of our German Language teachers also happens to be a great cook, and she loves to pass her abilities on to all those who would like to learn.

Heritage Speakers

If your family has a child who speaks German with a parent or has spent part of their life in a German speaking country, he or she could enroll in our Heritage Speaker class. The class is for 7+ year-olds and emphasizes German reading, writing, geography, science, music, play, and so much more.
