The German School of Dallas under the leadership of Gisela de Marco, is an educational institution for students from kindergarten through high school and for adults on all levels from Beginning to Advanced. We offer a unique experience in a genuine German environment with native speaking teachers in small classes. Our goal is to broaden the students' appreciation and awareness of another culture and facilitate their ability to communicate in German-speaking countries. Once high school students pass the German certification tests of the ZfA (German Federal Office for German Schools Abroad), they will receive the German Language Diploma. This entitles them to study at German universities in their field of interest without prior language qualification courses. In summary, the main characteristics/goals of our school are: The school is administered by parents (PTO) and teachers on a voluntary basis and is a non-profit organization. The school is independent and not part of another organization. This guarantees that your tuition money is 100% spent for direct school purposes ONLY! We aim to hire the most highly qualified and experienced teachers with native language skills. We serve as a “feeder” school to High Schools/Colleges and Universities with German language programs and/or requirements.
