Part of the Saturday School Program
Willkommen to the 2026/27 school year at the Kinderschule!
class description
This beginner program is designed for students 8 years and up, and balances interactive learning with a structured approach, where students will build a solid foundation in vocabulary and grammar through dynamic activities that encourage both participation and academic growth.
Please indicate the level of German knowledge (if any) during the registration process. We will group students by skill level, and may split the class in two if we have enough enrollment.
While students meet on Fridays, they are welcome to participate in Saturday School events, and may participate in preparations for these events (such as our annual exhibit).
Meeting times
Class meets every Friday for two hours from 4:45-6:45pm. Please check our calendar for days that we are off.
We will have a meet & Greet on Friday, August 28th, 5-6pm.
First Day of Class will be September 11, 2026.
