LANGUAGE  IMMERSION SCHOOL IN PLANNING FOR ST. LOUIS!
German or French from Kindergarten on!

After a meeting of a group of people with concerns for international education – including the Saint Louis mayor’s executive assistant, the president of Saint Louis – Lyon Sister Cities and the representative of the Central Office for German Schools Abroad – it has been agreed to explore the founding of an International Languages Immersion School in Saint Louis City, starting with classes of Kindergarten education in both French and German. 

Language immersion (often called “total language immersion) means that all subjects are taught in the target language (except English, of course).

The idea of international language immersion, specifically German language immersion, has been successfully followed throughout the United States in a number of projects, including the German School of Portland, Oregon, the Twin Cities German Immersion School and the Milwaukee German Immersion School.

The committee is looking for St. Louis’ citizens who would like to become the educational founders of such a school (not necessarily parents, but parents are welcome) and who would like to help build the school.

This group will not only have the support of the City of Saint Louis  but  will also incorporate expertise of French and German educators.

The project has already been acclaimed by both the Consuls General of France and Germany, Jean-Baptiste Main de Boissiere and Wolfgang Drautz.

Please
consider joining a School Project Group!  Take a few minutes to complete the attached questionnaire and email it to Gert Wilhelm, Language Consultant from the Goethe-Institut.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Saint Louis’ educational community!
