Teaching

In 2013 all our students who sat for the Goethe Institute examinations Fit in Deutsch 1 and 2 passed the exams with the highest results. This year we decided to offer another internationally recognised German language examination and to join the international network of schools that offer Deutsches Sprachdiplom Stufe 1 (DSD 1), an internationally acclaimed academic diploma issued by the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of Germany. In 2015 our students will be able to earn the DSD 1 German Language Diploma as proof of their proficiency in German. Students who are interested in taking this examination will be able to start preparations with our teachers this year.

This examination is based on the Common European Framework of References for Languages. The DSD 1 diploma involves taking written examinations, to be sent to Germany for evaluation, and an individual oral examination administered in our school by internal and/or external examiners.
