GTHS Youth Courses Catalogue

Fit Classes Overview

Our Fit courses are designed for homeschool, private school, or other younger students who are looking to learn German in a formal setting. These courses are conducted primarily in German with content based on the Logisch! neu A1 course book. The content covered in the class is supplemented by a workbook, which students complete independently outside of class. Note that the language of these textbooks is German.Students work in class to develop their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.

Students who fully participate in and complete Fit A1.1, Fit A1.2, and Fit A1.3 will ideally be prepared for the Goethe-Zertifikat A1: Fit in Deutsch 1 exam for young adults, recognized globally as proof of German language ability. Note that our Samstagsschule – Advanced classes in the Fall and Spring are equivalent to Fit A1.1 and Fit A1.2, respectively.
