Willkommen zur Deutschen Schule in Naperville!
Welcome to the German Language School of Naperville! I am excited to be back at our same location, Congregation Beth Shalom, on 772 5-th Ave in Naperville.
We are able to use 8 classrooms, if needed. Our location is also very close to downtown Naperville, about 2 minutes by car. Plenty of parking space is available.
We are a very active German school that celebrates all the German holidays: Lantern parade in November, St. Nikolaus, Christmas at the Naperville City Hall, Karneval, and a graduation party at the end of the school year. Please look at the school schedule and write down special school activities in your calendar, so you will not have any surprises later. Thank you!
If you pick up your students at 7:30 pm on Friday, please follow these instructions, for the safety of your child. The parents may come inside the building and pick up their children at any time. Otherwise, please drive to the exit door (West side) and wait for your student in the car. When the first car is ready, it will leave and the next car will pull up. I would like you to form a car line, please. The doors of the Congregation are usually locked. Should no one be there to open the door for you, please call my cell phone: 630-624-7853. Please use the West entrance. Again, this is only for the Friday evening class. We have to leave the building on the first Friday of each calendar month by 6:30 pm. Please pick up your students on time, so that the teachers can also be out of the building by 6:30 p.m.
Our teacher for two years, Sandra Wellhoefer, is leaving us, returning to Germany. We wish her well and we will miss her.
Anja Hauser and Jasneet Kaur are our new teachers.
Besides taking the AATG tests in January, we will also offer the test for the German "Zertifikat". This test is for the most advanced students, over 12 years of age. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Now I wish you all a successful school year!

"Speaking of ... We are very impressed with the class so far. Sabine is doing an incredible job of playing to all of the boy's development levels and the activities she engages them in are truly wonderful! This is, by far, the best program that we've enrolled our son in and it's a bonus that he's working on his German at the same time! Thank you for everything!" - Megan & Elliott Berck
