Organization Overview
Founded in 1978, the German Language School Conference is the only advocacy organization in the US solely dedicated to supporting the needs of community-based German Language schools, nationwide.
Our member schools typically hold classes on Saturdays and are, therefore, often referred to as “Saturday Schools” (German: Samstagsschulen). They serve children from preschool through high school as well as adults.
The GLSC was founded by representatives of German language schools in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania with the support and encouragement of the German Consulate General New York. The goal was to provide an organization for the sharing of experiences and best practices geared to the unique needs of language schools. Since then the GLSC has grown to include the majority of German language schools across the US.
