K-5th
Your students will develop their German language skills in a live communication setting with certified German teachers from across the USA. The lessons are organized in a fun but efficient way. Each session will last 25 minutes so that the student does not lose focus and can better acquire and retain what they have learned. The most important teaching tool is a virtual classroom, which makes teaching an exciting task!
6-8th
Students will meet weekly with their German teacher, who will deliver an interactive lesson tailored to their interests and German learning goals. The lessons will operate under a unit structure. Each unit includes practice with all four communicative modes while introducing new vocabulary and grammar to your student’s learning. Each unit mainly consists of 4 lessons, and every 4th lesson will revisit the material of the topic. Furthermore, students will undergo a performance and reflection exercise to gauge their progress.
9-12th
Our certified German educators will deliver live or self-paced lessons based on your student’s language acquisition needs and goals. The learning format is flexible and can be designed by you and your student. Students will be taught using units, which include practice with all four communicative modes while introducing new vocabulary and grammar into your student’s learning. Each unit consists of 4 lessons, and every 4th lesson will revisit the material of the topic. Furthermore, students will undergo a performance and reflection exercise to gauge their progress.
Postsecondary
This level is limited to 1st and 2nd-year students enrolled in a college program. The services provided will be tailored to an individual need that is evaluated during registration. We at BGHRA Online Academy provide our post-secondary students with various options to enhance their German learning in the forms of one on one instruction, independent study, and tutorial services.
Parents
Parents of younger students are encouraged to remain present with the student for at least the first few sessions. Having a parent by their side will help to ease the initial nerves young students may have with virtual learning. We also encourage parents to sign up for our newsletter to keep up to date with news from BGHRA. Material resources can also be provided to parents to better facilitate the student’s learning.
Our Mission
Learning takes place in an immersive space. We offer an array of services such as Virtual learning with a certified German teacher, Independent Study, and Tutorials. No matter where you are in your German learning, we will meet you where you are.
Our Vision
All courses will be conducted in 90% of the target language to provide students with an immersive experience and for full acquisition of the German language.
