Students learn German as a foreign language based on the “Daf-Rahmenplan” – the official curriculum developed by the Standing Committee of the German Ministers of Culture and Education. It is based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)
German as a Second Language Stream
Students understand and speak German effortlessly. They have the benefit of living in a bilingual environment or may have lived abroad. German as Second Language learners follow an adapted German elementary school curriculum. This stream works towards a DSD 1 or even DSD 2 completion.
