Our SchoolTCGIS is a language-immersion school, which means German is the primary language of instruction in grades K-8. With exceptions for English class beginning in 3rd grade, and Math beginning in 5th grade, students meet their learning targets using German, learning language through the content. Of course, we provide additional support for students who don’t speak German yet, as well as English-language support for students who speak a language other than English at home.
TCGIS is:
The TCGIS community is curious about the world. Many community members have lived, worked, or studied in other countries. Our families value the opportunities TCGIS offers their children to not only learn about other cultures but to also use their German language skills to connect with people from all over the world and to be curious about their own place in the world. |
