Sophie Scholl Schule – German Immersion School in Beaverton
Do you want to learn German?
Our motto is “Lernen ist genial,” or “Learning is pure genius.” “Genial” in English means pleasant and fun, too. We aim for all of the above, for all interested students! Click here to see our teaching philosophy. Click here to see our affordable tuition.
Sophie Scholl Schule has a place for you, beginner, advanced or somewhere in between!
- Preschoolers soak up language through song and play,
- Grade schoolers move from reading and writing simple sentences to full stories,
- High schoolers can explore a new language or leverage oral fluency into written and oral sophistication.
- Adults find a place in the beginners’ class or one for those who want to polish and expand their existing skills.
- Staff experiment with teaching materials and formats, including theme days, where everyone explores one subject, like “Life in the city” or “Science experiments.”

Afterschool classes combine high academic standards into a type of kids’ club with a fun, energetic vibe: Students may practice their verbal memory with acting exercises, make up games to build vocabulary, or read and discuss novels and short stories to develop their skills with complex ideas.
