Welcome to the first virtual GLSC Conference. The impact of COVID-19 is being felt deeply in our personal, social and professional lives. More than ever, we need to work together, we need to connect, and we need to communicate to not only navigate but to shape the “New Normal” and thrive in it.

The German Language School Conference (GLSC) is the national umbrella organization for private German language schools in the United States.

WHO WE ARE

Founded in 1978, the German Language School Conference (GLSC) is the only national organization dedicated to the needs of community-based German language schools in the United States. Our mission is to link member schools with a central organization for information and support. We assist in the establishment of new language schools and provide a forum for sharing experiences and advice.

WHAT WE DO

Button

The GLSC serves as a resource to language schools for best practices, administrative information and policies to further our common goals of maintaining and fostering the language and culture of German speaking countries in the US. We represent the interests of our member schools to German and US government agencies, professional organizations and other stakeholders.

MEMBERSHIP

GLSC members are German language schools and other schools with German language programs across the US.

Organizations and individuals whose goals are consistent with those of the GLSC are members as well.

Members elect the trustees of the GLSC board at the Annual Meeting in the Fall.

EVENTS

Button

The GLSC offers networking opportunities for educators and administrators. We organize a yearly professional development conference in cooperation with the German Consulate General in New York, which is geared to the special concerns of German language schools.

Each spring, we offer a Writing Contest (Schreibwettbewerb) with the winning entries presented at the conference.
