German Language Schools Quebec
German School Baie-D'Urfé
Welcome to the German School Baie-D'Urfé
Our classes are for everyone aged 3 to 93. We can accommodate students without any knowledge of German, as well as native speakers.
Our secondary 4 and 5 courses are accredited by the Ministry of Education, so that students can receive 4 credits towards their high school leaving diploma.
We also offer exams from Germany called the DSD1 and DSD2. In preparation for these difficult exams the students not only elevate their knowledge of German to a superior level, but also may then study at any German university.
Our classes are small for individual attention and are taught in German by native German teachers. Students are grouped according to age and knowledge of German.
Courses take place at the Alexander von Humboldt School, 216, rue Victoria, Baie d'Urfé, Québec
