Winter 2012 Children’s German Classes (Ages 3-13) - San Antonio
The German Saturday School of San Antonio offers fun and engaging language instruction for kids. These classes, designed for children ages 3-13, meet Saturday mornings in downtown San Antonio. Two 12-week sessions are offered each year, beginning in January (winter session) and September (fall session). Both fall and winter semester classes run Saturdays from 9:30 to 11:30 am. All classes meet at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church at 502 E. Nueva Street, San Antonio, TX 78205.
Our teaching staff consists of native German speakers experienced in tutoring children, college-educated German speakers and German teachers from local public schools. Lessons focus on comprehension and speaking for all age groups. Instructors use art, music, and games as well as traditional learning methods. Our older Mittelschule students (ages 9-13) will use Wir textbooks by the Klett Verlag (Klett Publishing) and will gain skills reading and writing in German.
Samstagsschule classes are organized by the German-Texan Heritage Society (GTHS), a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the German heritage in Texas.
