"Im impressed by how well the German curriculum is integrated with the Washington state curriculum and standards. It was a pleasure to see how the students switch effortlessly between the languages, and their command of the German language is fantastic."
Monique Mussbach, Former SAGA Intern
We chose SAGA because of the balance between language immersion, a curriculum based approach and the obvious attention to detail. We have not yet been disappointed!
Stacey Wiggins, Current SAGA Elementary parent
...the school is so much more than "just a" German immersion school. SAGA feels like an extension of our family and is such a creative, healthy, loving, caring, fun and motivating place for my daughter.
Annette Veihelmann, SAGA Alumni parent
Es ist nicht nur die Schule, sondern das gesamte gesellschaftliche und soziale Umfeld, dass den Reiz von SAGA ausmacht.
