Students of German nationality who entered the school in kindergarten are able to follow instruction in English. German newcomers must meet requirements in English on the applicable grade level. The school gets a great deal of support from the parents. They are very much involved in the activities of the school. These volunteers organize, for example, Halloween activities, Sports activities, a flea market, library assistance, etc.
Parents also support a number of projects on a regular basis.
The high school fosters integration of the German and American cultures through the sponsorship of an active and diverse student activities program which complements the academic program. As a general condition, high school applicants must demonstrate sufficient academic ability to succeed in the college preparatory program since it places special demands on American students because of the bilingual, bicultural educational setting.
