School Notes Overview: |
It's like sending your child to Germany for the day.
At the German American School of Portland we have a knack for teaching children a second language. We make it fun. Not only will your child learn a second language, they'll be immersed in German culture through music, art, books and conversation with everyone around them.
In return, they have the opportunity to become better listeners, more flexible in their thinking and more open to other languages and cultures.
