Teen Language Classes at GIS

Empowering students to stay connected to language, culture, and global opportunity.

At GIS, we believe language is more than a skill. It’s a key to understanding the world and your place in it. Our teen language classes extend that believe beyond the traditional school day, giving middle and high school students the chance to deepen their connection to German or Mandarin Chinese, strengthen academic skills, and engage with culture in meaningful ways. Our after school classes offer a supportive path forward, grounded in the same values of curiosity, empathy and global readiness that guide everything we do.
