We don´t allow boring classes. Lessons must be interesting, enhanced with tools such as games, role plays, quizzes, humour, and other creative means. To add a touch of relevance and spontaneity, we take advantage of the whole city as a ´living´ classroom and occasionally conduct some classes outside of school, such as in a café, in the park, in a museum, or in the library.

"Best short term study experience"

Jeannette Young, student from USA

This is my third time taking weekly German classes. The first two times were in Berlin and in Vienna. I would have to say this experience in Frankfurt tops both my experiences in the past. It feels like dropping in to a big multicultural family. School, teachers students all happily mix and mingle together. Classes were very good too, albeit way too much homework for someone just drops in for a week. All in all terrific experience.
