School Profile

The German American School of Portland is a dual language program where both the German and the American languages and cultures are taught and appreciated.

We value the positive effect that the learning a second language has on a child's intellectual growth and mental development. For this reason we immerse our children in a warm and caring German-speaking environment at an early age. Our Preschoolers and Kindergarteners acquire their first foreign language skills in a playful way without realizing how our focus on art, crafts, music, songs and games gently introduces them to German. In fact, we open the door to more than one culture: by being bilingual, our children develop more flexibility in thinking, greater sensitivity to other languages and cultures, and a better ear for listening.

Our bi-national grade school program focuses on each student as a whole and offers a curriculum that seeks to combine both U.S. and German standards of education, as well as academic, social, and artistic concerns. Children develop a pleasure for learning and a natural curiosity about the world around them.

The school is at its best in person, so come and visit if you are in the area. If not, please contact us, view our photo galleries and read through the website to gather more information.
