A German Saturday School that is running totally online for everybody who can't make it to an offline Saturday School!

Even though 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 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 recognised telc exam.
