ONLINE
SATURDAY SCHOOL
About
Online DSS is a German Saturday School that runs completely online for everybody who can't make it to our in-person lessons!
Despite being online, we still learn German through activities - we play games, invent new things, cook and bake, do arts and crafts, and history and geography! We strive to create a fun and stimulating environment where children, young people and adults alike can enjoy themselves and learn German by using it actively and purposefully in reading, writing, listening and speaking.
Our groups are small throughout for lots of individual attention and interaction. There is a group for everyone - no matter if beginner or bilingual!
The ONLINE DSS leads to a German GCSE, A-level, or an internationally recognized telc exam.
The online DSS is supported by the German Embassy
