welcome to OGLS

Kindergarten

We offer a Kindergarten class (4-6 year olds) where no reading and writing skills are required, and children with different levels of German knowledge are mixed. At this young age, children are able to learn a language quickly through songs, games, stories and interaction with peers.

Introduction to German/1.Klasse

Children who have reading and writing skills are in the Introduction to German class or 1. Klasse. They use a beginners' book to start reading and writing in German. The goal is to prepare these children to join the advanced class the following year.

Advanced Level/Fortgeschrittene

The Advanced class is for children who have fluency in German and who already have good English reading and writing skills.

Students in both the beginners and advanced classes will have the opportunity to test their knowledge in exams (American Association of Teachers of German High School Tests and/or European German Language Diplomas).

Adult Classes

Our adult classes are for beginners and advanced students. Many parents decide to learn German along with their children, and classes are lively and low-key. The focus of the adult class is conversation and the goal is to be able to communicate with native German speaking people.

The adults also have the opportunity to test their abilities by taking American Association of Teachers of German High School Tests and/or European German Language Diplomas.

We are dedicated to provide a fun and enjoyable learning environment for the best possible German language education to students of all ages and ability levels.
