German Saturday School
York
Our German Saturday School in York offers classes for children from German-speaking and biligual families. Please see more information on our German site.
At the moment, we offer classes for children with a pre-existing knowledge of German. We aim to offer additional groups in the future. Let us know what you are interested in and we will get in touch with you once we have enough people interested in a similar group. You can email us at info@dssyork.org.uk
LEARNING
We aim to create an informal yet stimulating environment in which children can play, sing, get creative and discover new interests. Children speak, read and write German as part of these activities, building on their knowledge of the language in a fun and purposeful way.
TEAM
Led by a group of German-
speaking parents in York, we aim
to give children the opportunity to improve their language skills
while having fun and forging
German-speaking friendships.
COMMUNITY
We aim to share the culture of German-speaking countries through songs, stories and celebrations. We want to build a community in which each child can flourish and where everyone is treated with respect.
