440 Minnesota Students Take the National German Exam

Over 21,000 high school students in four different levels took the newly designed exam – 440 from Minnesota. The Exam provides individual diagnostic feedback, creates a sense of accomplishment, and rewards students through an extensive prize program. Exam results are among the criteria used in selecting the recipients of chapter awards and the national AATG/PAD Study Trip Awards, a four-week study trip program in Germany.

Still time to apply for the HS German Summer Study Program Dear Mark,   Are your students looking for something fun, exciting and truly memorable to do this summer? How about a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Germany through the AATG German Summer Study Program? Imagine your students spending 3 weeks in Germany where they not only improve their language proficiency, but also live and breathe German culture. They attend classes at the local Gymnasium, live with a German family, and take part in fun excursions. The deadline for this year's program is April 15. Find full details about this exciting program at www.aatg.org. Contact Program Coordinator April Hemphill, april@aatg.org, if you have any questions.
