The German School of Connecticut comprises dedicated teachers, students and parents who meet every Saturday morning during the school year to teach and learn German and support a variety of school activities.
Founded in 1978, the school is a Non-Profit organization. All tuitions and funds are used to teach and maintain the German language and culture, and to create the most positive environment to do so.
In 1982, with the help of the Zentralstelle für das Auslandsschulwesen (Central Agency for German Schools Abroad) the school introduced the Sprachdiplom to the US. The very first two exams in the US were given at our facilities - and all students passed!
Thereafter a small number of additional German Sprachschulen were allowed to administer these exams as well. Today, many more schools have joined them.
