Every Saturday our fundraising team provides drinks, buns, pretzels and other snacks at a large concession table in the lobby. So your child is able to buy something to eat and drink. It is especially exciting for the Kindergarten students to buy something for the first time on their own, so this is made part of the learning experience in that class.

Our school adjusts to the regular school holidays and breaks, so that usually our school is closed. Please check the yearly calendar for exceptions.

With severe weather conditions in the winter time, it is possible that school gets cancelled. Check the website and your email in the early morning for an update on this.

We highly recommend you register your child in a class that is one level below what they are taking in regular school.  For example if they are attending Grade 2 for regular school, they should register for Grade 1 in German School.

G1-G8 (DaZ) is German as a second language and conducted entirely in German.  E1-E8 (DaF) is German as a foreign language and English is used for the purpose of clarification. Preschool and Kindergarten Class are not divided into two streams. For more details see our Class Structure and Curriculum page.

Your child can start as early as 4.5 or 5 years to attend Preschool. It is our goal to have them go to our Kindergarten class after two years at Preschool.
