Our German classes are active and full-immersion German. In small groups, we will speak, listen, write, and read, learn grammar, and experience cultural specialties and holidays - all in an age-appropriate way.
The House of Germany Kinderwerkstatt is a community
language school founded in 1997. Support from the community is welcome
and necessary to keep the Kinderwerkstatt running. Please ask how you
can help!
The House of Germany in Balboa Park, San Diego (CA), is a member of the the House of Pacific Relations (HPR) that promotes multicultural goodwill and understanding through educational and cultural programs.
EVENTS
All children are expected to perform at our annual Winter Holiday Party on December 15, 2024, where all of our members are invited to join one another for a holiday luncheon with the children’s performance followed by the House of Germany Choir Christmas Concert. We hope all of our students will also join us for our annual Lantern Fest gathering on November 14, 2024, and our end of the year picnic on May 15, 2025.
