The curriculum is designed to enable students to actively communicate in German by giving them a strong foundation in understanding German, building their vocabulary, speaking, reading and writing. German is the primary language of instruction.
 
The principal developed a new curriculum plan in collaboration with a group of faculty members in 2005, providing students with continuity as they move from level to level and teachers with a strong foundation for lesson planning, classroom instruction, and follow-up.
 
Our curriculum includes guidelines to help the teachers structure their lessons each Saturday, balancing a review of familiar material with an introduction and reinforcement of new material, along with reading, writing and cultural projects. Look at an overview by age and level. The faculty meets monthly to set short and long-term goals, share information, as well as collaborate on classroom and general curriculum issues.
 
Textbook selection involves extensive research by our principal to ensure that teachers and students have access to the most current and appropriate textbooks, along with other materials to supplement the curriculum. Music classes enhance our curriculum and add variety to the children's language experience. Two professional music teachers, Birgit Danckert and Katja Schoenherr, meet regularly with the students, coaching them in German music and preparing them for our two annual school events/concerts, one for the December holidays and the other at the end of the school year.
