Our mission statement
The Center for German Language and Culture has been operating successfully as an independent language school in Frankfurt since 1981. We pride ourselves on our high quality teaching, the good organization, the family atmosphere and the good and modern equipment of the school.
We are characterized by the fact that we continuously face new requirements in the education sector and that we want to constantly develop further in terms of organization and content. We are capable of criticism and learn from mistakes.
We have set ourselves the goal of promoting cross-cultural awareness and understanding through language learning.
Our guidelines
The Center for German Language and Culture sees itself as a place of intercultural encounter that is committed to the ideal of a just, social, ecological society. The unrestricted recognition of individual human rights is the basis of all interpersonal relationships at our school. This is also the basis of our commitment to secular democracy and the associated separation of state and religion as a basic condition for individual freedom and cultural diversity.
Freedom, equality and fraternity are universal values for us. They exclude any kind of discrimination and require respect for and equal treatment of people regardless of their gender, social position, sexual orientation, ethnicities and denominations or political and national origin.
Fundamentalist behavior, with which one accepts to injure others in their human dignity, are incompatible with the liberal self-image of this school.
We respect the diversity of each individual - both among our participants and among each other. We stand for an open Germany.
