The Intern Program at TCGIS
The TCGIS Intern Program serves a fundamental part of our mission: to provide an innovative education of the whole child through German immersion. Interns are native-German-speaking young adults training to become teachers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. They are integrated into every grade level at TCGIS and provide over 6,000+ additional hours of classroom support for our students each semester.
The positive impact and intercultural engagement of interns extends even further into our community because interns are hosted by TCGIS families. The opportunity for interns to be immersed into every day life in the U.S. is an exciting cultural exchange that benefits both the intern and our families. |
The Intern Program is only possible through the generous support of our community: through donations, host families, and mentor teachers. Please support this invaluable program at TCGIS that brings the German language to life and expands our students' understanding of our world.

Quote from an intern“I’m 23 years old, and from Berlin. I have a Bachelor's degree in German as a Foreign Language and Scandinavian Studies. I live with my host-parents and their two sons (Kindergarten & 2nd grade). My host-family opened their home for me, and I try my best to return the favor by helping in the house as a part of the family. I slowly start talking more and more German to the boys every day and let them have as much insight into my German heritage and culture as possible. With an intern at your home you get a walking, talking, and interacting German dictionary all day!
