Congratulations 2021 graduates!

The German School of Madison finished the 2021 school year off with our last 3 outside classes and a May Day celebration. We had May Day art and craft, German snacks and our German Book Library.

We have put the pandemic year behind us and are looking forward to welcoming students back in September in person for the next school year. Registration for the 2021/22 school year will open soon.

Wir hoffen Ihr werdet einen tollen Sommer haben!

Our school year is coming to an end, and we are happy to celebrate together outside at Lake Edge Park from 1-2 pm on May 22nd. In an effort to bring our library out to our students and community members, we are bringing books from Harry Potter, to toddler story books for borrowing. We would love to invite past, future and current students along with the German Speaking Community to stop by, buy a German pretzel and see the products of our May Day crafts. Willkomen!

We are ramping up! Its been a long summer of researching the updated guidelines for our Youth Programs, but we are happy to announce that German Instruction WILL return this fall starting on Saturday October 3rd! We are finalizing our plans to provide a mix of in person German lessons in an outdoor setting, prerecorded YouTube and Google classroom lessons and a mix of ZOOM meetings. We are planning our instruction specifically for each age group to provide the best delivery and keep our students speaking German throughout the year. Registration will open by the last day of August, so keep us in your thoughts and your plans! We look forward to seeing you all again soon. Stay Tuned!
