New and Exciting Event and Summer Courses!  Click on the Event Calendar link to the left!

The DANK School Chicago North located near the intersection of Western and Lawrence Avenues offers instruction in the German language, with engaging curriculum for both children and adults. As the oldest DANK language school, DANK School Chicago North is dedicated to achieving the highest standards in German language education. Click on the Curriculum button to the left for more info.

The DANK School Chicago North is ideal for children of German-speaking parents, native-born German children spending time here in the U.S., and children who simply want to learn a foreign language. The sooner a child starts learning a foreign language, the better. Knowledge, ability, and creativity are cultivated through the study of German, one of the world's most important and influential languages. Give your children the opportunity of a lifetime—register today!

The teacher to student ratio is kept low, creating a supportive environment for learning to speak, read, write, and comprehend the German language. There is also an active parent-teacher association, sponsoring such events such as the Christmas Party, Fasching, and Mother's Day Celebration.

We encourage you and / or your child to visit us and sit in during a class. This lets you see first hand how the class is taught, and allows you to determine whether the School will meet your needs. We want you to be comfortable, and to feel confident about your decision to join our school.

The School Office and Classrooms are on the 3rd floor of the DANK Building. The building is elevator equipped. There is a comfortable waiting lounge for your use while your child is in class. Or if you prefer, you may drop your child off at the classroom, and come back at 12:00 noon to pick your child up. There are nice shops in the Lincoln Square area, especially along Lincoln Avenue just south of Lawrence.
