Waldsee´s High School Credit Program

In just four weeks, villagers at Waldsee can earn a year’s credit of high school German. As an extension of Waldsee’s core curriculum, the credit program emphasizes active learning–drawing on all of the resources that Waldsee has to offer, including the rich natural surroundings, a variety of outdoor and sporting activities, and Village life.

Students engage the German language using a theme-based curriculum that melds cultural content with grammar lessons. Waldsee’s credit program is much more than a classroom in the middle of the woods: it redefines how language is learned. It emphasizes learning in natural situations, like going to the Laden (store), ordering food at the Waldsee Café, or producing our own Seifenoper (soap opera) for the rest of the village.
