Saturday School

Learn German. Live German. Love German.

Immerse yourself in the German language and culture!
Our practice-based and varied programme helps you use German confidently from the very first day. You’ll learn the skills you need for everyday life, school, travel and future study in Germany, Austria and Switzerland — and you’ll get to practise them in real situations through games, projects, and creative activities.

Clear Path and Real Progress - Non-Native Learners

Our non-native speakers follow a structured path towards A1-A2 proficiency, preparing for the Goethe-Zertifikat, an internationally recognised language certificate.
Your progress is measurable and transparent — you’ll see how much you’ve improved each term! At the end of each school year, you have the chance to take an exam.

We offer classes for:

• Class 1: New learners who are beginning to read and write
• Class 2: Beginner-level German learners
• Class 3: Advanced German learners

* Classes depend on the number of students.

Clear Path and Real Progress - Native Learners

Native speakers follow an advanced curriculum that strengthens grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing while deepening their connection to their language and heritage.

Innovative and Engaging

Our German lessons are designed using the latest research in language learning, combining fun classroom activities with textbooks, workbooks, and real-life materials like songs, videos, stories, and cultural topics that bring the German-speaking world to life. Everything — from lessons to exams — is perfectly coordinated to help you learn efficiently and enjoyably.

Success-Oriented and Supportive

You’ll be guided by highly qualified German teachers who create an encouraging, motivating, and interactive environment. With their support, you’ll make fast, noticeable progress and gain the confidence to use German naturally and creatively.

Children and teenagers aged 5 to 15 years — both native and non-native speakers — are welcome to join.

The English and French programmes are language-based, requiring some basic ability in the chosen language. They focus on developing comprehension, speaking, grammar, reading, and writing. In addition to language development, lessons integrate age-appropriate subjects such as science, geography, mathematics, and history, aligned with the IB and British school curriculums. Depending on the class level, students also engage in public speaking, presentations, creative projects, research, and STEAM activities. 

Who Can Join? 

• Children aged 5 to 12 years with English or French-speaking backgrounds
• Parents of children aged 4–5 who already have a foundational level of English speaking and understanding

* Each child will first be assessed, and parents will then be informed whether we can offer them a place in the programme.

* Parents of students who have been with us for several years and are approaching or passing the age of 12 may request for their child to continue in the programme beyond age 13 for a couple more years.

To re-enroll, please complete the online form by the end of May. 

Building Confidence Through Movement

Move to Learn is a unique learning-through-movement programme focused on developing selfconfidence, concentration, appropriate behavior, perseverance, and brain-body coordination. Unlike language-based courses, it emphasizes all round foundational development.

This programme is designed for two groups of children: 

1. Beginners and Newcomers in English, providing foundational skills in thinking and learning in English.
2. Children with special educational needs, including those with ASD, ADHD, Down syndrome, and Asperger’s.

Parents of students who are assessed by Mr. Burton to have made sufficient progress in this programme, will at the right time be advised to transition them to the English programme.
