Curriculum

Children Curriculum

  • Three and Four Years Old (Pre-school children must be potty-trained)
  • Kindergarten
  • Elementary through High School

Children's courses run for 3 hours on Saturday mornings 9:00 AM to 12:0 Noon, from September through May. Students are first grouped by age, then by ability level, ensuring proper attention and challenging, yet appropriate instruction.

Your child(ren) will need books, and regular school supplies for their classes. All text books and German style notebooks (called Hefte) are available for sale at the DANK School Book Store, also on the 3rd floor. We suggest you buy a backpack for DANK School items. This helps your child keep all DANK School material together.

Krabbelgruppe

The DANK School also offers a Krabbelgruppe (Tots Program).  Krabbelgruppe, offered for 1 1/2 hours, is for toilet-trained youngsters and their parents. The sessions are on Saturday mornings and start at 9:30 AM, ending at 10:30 AM. Songs are sung, and a good time is had by all.

Adult Curriculum

We offer classes for beginners, intermediate, and advanced students. Students will be placed into levels ranging from beginning to advanced, based on their ability. Classes are taught by motivated teachers, who understand the challenges of learning a foreign language in today's busy world.

There are two time slots offered for Adult classes.

  • Wednesday Evenings, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM on the third floor.
    Classes start on Wednesday January 30th, and run through May 28th (18 weeks).
    There is a Fall Semester offered as well, starting Wednesday, September 1 2008,
    running through January 28th, 2009. For additional information, please contact Alexandra Pradella-Ott at 847-549-9453, or e-mail her at Eott@aol.com.

  • Saturday Mornings, 9:15 AM to 11:45 AM on the third floor.
    Classes begin in January and run through May.
    This time is ideal for parents of children attending Saturday morning classes. Why not learn German yourself while your child is in school? Classes are taught by Margaret Rose. Contact Margaret at redviolin@gmx.de for more info.
