[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know specifics but I would suggest you get a German au pair and try online language tutoring now so when you apply the language base is stronger and the child can get reinforcement at home.

It’s a German school that happens to be based in the US. This means that they will not teach your child the language especially if they enter this late. The assumption is that they speak and write it when they arrive. I would not recommend it unless your kid is fluent and one parent can support at hone. How in earth do you expect your student to write the equivalent of AP Lit essays in German?

They will not tell you this, but I’ve seen quite a few American families in your situation fall for the marketing and then leave again after a couple of years. 
Note that they have been stretched financially for years and would have folded a long time ago if it were not for the steady stream of embassy funds and diplomat kids.

What marketing? Would the school misinform a family that they are appropriate for an elementary school child with minimal German skills on entry? That’s very bad if so[/quote]
