German Language School of the North Bay

This class is geared towards upper elementary and lower middle school students (about grades 4-6) with intermediate (or higher) German language skills. Students should be able to follow a class taught primarily in German, should be able to express themselves in German in simple sentences (in speaking and writing), and should be able to read short, age appropriate texts.

Students in this class will strengthen all four language skill levels: listening, speaking, reading and writing. They learn to understand age-appropriate texts and audios, play vocabulary and grammar games, write their own stories in German, and explore the culture of German speaking countries through project-based learning. 

The curriculum prepares students to take the “Internationale Vergleichsarbeit A1” (Level A1 German exam for children).

Learning materials for this class include a textbook and supplemental material from other sources.

This class is taught in-person at our Novato campus on Saturdays from 9:30-noon. Download our school calendar to see which days we are in session. This class uses a book! After registering, please follow the link in your confirmation email to purchase the book on our book ordering site.
