Elementary German
K5 – 6th/7th grade
Our elementary program builds confident German speakers from the very beginning. Classes meet once a week for two hours, following the public school calendar for 30 sessions per year — approximately 50–60 hours of in-person instruction. Class sizes are limited to 10–12 students for personalized attention.
How We Teach — Binnendifferenzierung
We use a proven differentiation method called Binnendifferenzierung — meaning students at different levels learn together in the same classroom. Whether your child is a complete beginner or already has some German experience, they are challenged at exactly the right level. This mirrors real-life language learning and builds confidence, collaboration, and natural fluency.
