The Goethe-Institut and German International School Boston sign a Memorandum of Understanding

As Goethe-Institut language learners know, our courses have been held at German International School Boston for almost two years now. The school welcomed us with open arms for which we are very grateful. During these two years we have had the opportunity to get to know each other better, to identify synergies and to develop common ideas. After we move back into our institute at the beginning of next year, we plan to continue building our budding partnership. For this reason, the Goethe-Institut Boston and the German International School Boston signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on November 1st under the patronage of German Minister of State Michelle Müntefering. The MoU not only states that we will continue offering German courses at the German International School, but also that we will intensify our cooperation to include more content. The Goethe-Institut will offer both in-service training for teachers and tailor-made courses for parents and the school community. Visit our website at the beginning of December for details!
