German Department

The German language is systematically taught on a daily basis from kindergarten. Our staff is very experienced and well educated and the teaching is based on the use of the most appealing and modern methods. The books chosen adopt a modern approach to the language and deal with contemporary issues which correspond to the interests and the needs of the students. The special school publications with additional material and exercises, the use of multimedia and the internet, make the teaching of the foreign language not only a pleasant experience but also very effective.
The students are placed in small classes which correspond to their level of knowledge.
The afternoon classes apply to students who need additional assistance or wish to complete the subject at a more intensive pace so as to reach the point of taking the exam for a diploma in a shorter period. The school is an Examination Center for the Goethe Institute and the conference of the Ministers of Education of the federal Democracy of Germany for the exams of the KMK diploma. Within the school, we run an information office on graduate studies abroad which helps students to select the most appropriate educational institution for the continuation of their studies in Germany.

The teaching of the German language in homogenous levels enables the students to prepare for the following examinations:

1. Admission to the German School of Athens
2. First diploma of the Goethe Institute (Fit in Deutsch 1 / Level A1)
3. Second diploma of the Goethe Institute (Fit in Deutsch 2 / Level A2)
4. Third diploma of the Goethe Institute (Zertifikat / Level B1)
5. Fourth diploma of the Goethe Institute (Level B2)
6. German Language Diploma of the German Ministers of Education and Culture KMK (Level C1)

Sprachdiplom der Kultusministerkonferenz (KMK)
During the school year of 1998-99 the students of our school, the only students from Greek schools, are given the opportunity to sit for the KMK diploma exams.

This diploma, along with the high school graduation certificate and the panhellenic exams, enables the students to continue their studies in the Higher Educational Institutions of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

This achievement was a reward of the school and its commitment to the systematic and effective teaching of the German language.
