Description

German-English Education from Preschool to University

GABA Women in Business invites you to an inspiring evening exploring the opportunities and lifelong benefits of German-English bilingual education. How can families create a strong German-English educational pathway for their children, and where can that journey lead? Join us as we explore the many ways children can develop and maintain their German language skills from the earliest years through higher education:

Home → Preschool → Elementary & Middle School → Saturday School → High School → University

The evening will bring together educators, parents, and international education experts to discuss the different pathways available to German-English families in Los Angeles and beyond and will conclude with an audience Q&A and an opportunity to connect and network.


Creating a German-English Education Pathway
Learn about educational options and resources available to families, including:

◇ Kigala Preschool:
German-English bilingual early childhood education

◇ Goethe International Charter School:
International and multilingual education from elementary through middle school

◇ GASA - German American School Association:
German language education through Saturday School programs

From Bilingual Education to Universities Worldwide
Speaker: Cornelia Betschart-Fuertes
International Education Consultant | Connecting Students with Universities Worldwide

Cornelia will take the conversation beyond K–12 education and explore how bilingual and internationally minded students can prepare for university opportunities in the United States, Germany, Europe, and around the world.

Parent Perspectives
Hear from parents who have experienced the bilingual education journey firsthand: the choices they made, the challenges they encountered, and the opportunities their children gained along the way.

One language connects you to a community. Two languages can connect you to the world.
