All three of our schools are hard at work preparing students for the upcoming exam season. Our Deutsches Sprachdiplom I students are refining their oral presentations, covering a wide range of topics - including hobbies, travels, careers, favorite books, and sports.

After years of dedication and preparation coming to German school every Saturday, more than 15 students from our three schools in Richmond Hill, Toronto Central West, and Scarborough are taking part in both written and oral exams for the 2025 Deutsches Sprachdiplom I to earn the second-highest language certificate issued by the German government. Good luck to all candidates!

Our younger students are practicing their reading and listening comprehension, as well as written communication skills for the Internationale Vergleichsarbeit A1 and A2, coming up in April. We are so proud of all their hard work!

To keep our students motivated throughout exam season, the DSS Scarborough school developed fun pair and group exercises. Students got to listen to German music, pop culture videos, and eat plenty of Gummibärchen!

DSS Richmond Hill also adds a drizzle of sweetness to exam season by participating in the Richmond Hill Maple Syrup Festival, on Saturday, April 12, 2025. Come visit our booth to learn more about the school and fun facts. We will have activities for kids. Did you know that Germany is the second largest importer of Canadian maple syrup? We will also be asking Mayor David West on whether learning German with us in December helped him at the Hannover Messe trade fair in Germany.

We will be hosting an Open House on May 3rd at DSS Richmond Hill! It's a great opportunity to explore the space, meet the Principal, and learn more about what we offer. Don't miss out! Email us at richmondhill@dssgta.org.
