GAI Samstagsschule will build on and advance language skills of new and returning students. We will continue to develop a deep understanding of Germanic cultures, values and traditions. All competencies of language acquisition will be addressed: speaking, writing, listening and reading.
We offer two tracks:
German Learners
No or little exposure to German. Beginners and intermediate learners welcome!
German Speakers
Extensive exposure through an extended stay in a German-speaking country, a German-speaking parent or attendance of a German immersion preschool. This is a full immersion program for children who can understand and communicate in German.
