Willkommen!
(Welcome)
German language instruction is an integral part of our International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Students in kindergarten through fifth grade receive German instruction as a core subject that develops listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. The program builds cultural awareness and supports multilingualism for all learners, integrating authentic language experiences and an age-appropriate curriculum to foster communication, comprehension, and appreciation of the German language.
Explore details about our German curriculum, engaging activities, helpful learning resources, and the rich cultural traditions we celebrate together.
Students
This site was created to bring our German resources together into one location to make it easier for students and parents to find answers to many German-program related questions.
Parents
Learning a new language should be an enjoyable and enriching experience for your child. It will however require extra work, effort and parent support. Please take a look at the grade level links on this portal to see what each grade level’s focus is in German language arts and see how you can best support your child in German.
We would love to hear from you. If you have any questions or ideas, please contact Katrin Goldman at kgoldman@aeacs.org

Celebrating German Culture
At AEA, we proudly celebrate German holidays and traditions as part of our language and cultural program. These celebrations give students the opportunity to experience German culture firsthand, while also fostering an appreciation for the richness of different customs. Sharing and learning about traditions not only deepens language skills, but also helps our students value diversity and understand the importance of global connections.
