Keeping German alive

So many places are closing their doors to the German language.  We have seen a decline of teachers and classes offered in Phoenix and across the country:

Speaker Jonathan Seemann

The German School Phoenix would like to extend a special thank you to Jonathan Seemann for coming to our school this weekend and talking with our students!  Jonathan was able to tell us about Montabaur, Germany and some of the town’s long history going back to 959.  The town has a good blend of old and new, boasting a medieval castle turned 4-star hotel as well as a modern train station with a stop for the Colone-Frankfurt InterCityExpress (ICE) railway line.

Jonathan is in Phoenix doing a study abroad program for this year.  We thank him for his time, our students really enjoyed learning about Germany first-hand!

German Classes Spring 2016 Open for Registration

Classes Starting Soon

I hope that you are enjoying this holiday break with your families and friends. Our teachers and staff are getting rejuvenated and will be ready to welcome you back on Saturday, January 16th. Speaking as a former teacher, as much as we love and need these breaks, we are excited to get back to the classroom in a little more than a couple of weeks!

New Event Planned

Building on our very successful Gingerbread House Auction at the end of the fall 2015 semester we are again planning another benefit event, this time around a wonderful German Easter-themed custom: decorating Easter eggs! It should be another great experience for everyone!
