At the Eastside German Language School (EGLS), it is our passion to teach German at all levels – from preschool to adults. We offer flexible learning at our Saturday School. Previous German language skills are not required for Preschool and Kindergarten. EGLS is an official German language diploma school and since 2009 member of the worldwide PASCH-Net, an initiative of the German Federal Foreign Office. Elementary, middle and high school students will benefit tremendously from attending this program. Not only does the program provide foreign language credits (Stamp tests), but it also prepares the student for the German government-certified exams (DSD-A1, DSD-A2, DSDI and DSDII). In addition Advanced Placement (AP) preparation is also offered.

The Boulder German School (The Boulder School for German Language and Culture) is committed to fostering an inclusive, safe, and welcoming environment for all students, families, faculty, staff, and community members.

As an educational non-profit, we provide equal opportunity and support to individuals of all backgrounds, regardless of race, color, religion, or national and ethnic origin.

The SAGA School provides a full immersion German language program that fosters early language acquisition and promotes cross-cultural understanding in our students. The SAGA School's full immersion concept is based on the belief that languages are best learned as "living languages," in which students play, explore, create, sing, and learn.

Founded in 1991, we are an umbrella organization representing the independently operated German language Saturday schools in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. We are designed as a collaborative, bottom-up structured organization where our member schools work together, collaborate, and network with each other. For the past 30 years, we have supported our member schools by representing them to the greater German community, including the German government, other German and cultural organizations, and the community. We work together to share information, expertise, and to support each other.

Additionally, we network with other local and national German and German language organizations. Through the relationships we foster with those organizations, we help further the common goal of keeping the German language alive and available in the Bay Area.

Our member schools primarily provide German language instruction on Saturday mornings. This includes teaching reading, writing, speaking, and the culture of German-speaking countries. Our schools provide this education to students of all ages and levels of German – native speakers, heritage learners, and students learning German as a second language or foreign language. They fill a valuable gap for German language education in the US, where German has been increasingly phased out as a foreign language option in schools.

We assist our schools in preparing their students for elite German exams as well as helping them proctor those exams. Our schools are able to offer the US-based tests from the American Association of Teachers of German (AATG) and the Advanced Placement (AP) exam. Our schools also offer the German-based tests IVA  A1 and A2 as well as the DSD I and DSD II (Deutsches Sprachdiplom). With successful achievement on these test, students can potentially earn credit for college and qualify for university in Germany.

Multilingualism is the norm in most of the world and we believe that children who speak and write more than one language will be better prepared for life in the 21st century with its growing global economy. The best way to master another language is to start learning at an early age.

By exposing our students to a new culture, we instill in them respect for the diversity of humankind and promote international awareness and informed, active and responsible world citizenship. Teaching them respect and empathy for the individual person will help them to become balanced self-confident individuals.
