In January the AATG National German Examination is administered to students in grades 6 and above. This test is generally offered to high school students learning German. It measures a student's German proficiency in comparison to 25,000 others who take the exam nationwide. The exam tests listening comprehension, reading and conversational skills, applied structure or grammar and idioms in context, and reading comprehension. There are three different test levels: Level 2 correlates to having two years of high school German language classes; level 3 to 3 years; and level 4 to 4 years. The teacher determines the test level that is appropriate for each child.
 
Historically, a number of our students score in the 90th percentile or higher on this test. These students are invited to the AATG recognition ceremony in early May. Parents who would like to have their child/ren's AATG scores reported to their schools may provide the School Administrator with a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
