AATG Partner Programs
At Xperitas, we believe in the power of immersive experiences to transform lives, broaden perspectives, and create lifelong connections. That's why we're thrilled to partner with the American Association of Teachers of German (AATG) to offer a unique summer program designed specifically for high school seniors. This collaboration brings together our shared passion for language and cultural exploration, providing an unparalleled opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of German language and culture in an authentic, hands-on way. Our custom program to Germany is arranged for 17-19-year-old rising and graduating seniors. Interested students need to apply with AATG first before registering with Xperitas.
Why This Program Stands Out
What makes this program truly special is the combination of Xperitas’ expertise in immersive language experiences and AATG’s commitment to excellence in German education. Together, we’ve crafted an itinerary that balances language learning with cultural exploration, ensuring that students return home not only more proficient in German but also with a deeper understanding of the world around them.
This program is ideal for students whose German teachers:
- Are unable to personally lead a group to Germany but still want to offer their students an authentic language and cultural immersion experience. AATG provides a dedicated US-based chaperone to ensure students are well-supported throughout their journey.
- Have a smaller group of interested students, making it challenging to organize a full trip. This program offers the perfect solution by allowing those students to join a larger group and still experience an enriching German immersion.
Program Highlights:
- Immersive Language Learning: Students will live with carefully selected host families, offering a true-to-life experience of German language and culture. Daily interactions in German will help participants develop their language skills in a natural and meaningful context.
- Cultural Activities: The program includes a variety of cultural excursions, from visiting historical landmarks to experiencing local traditions. These activities are designed to deepen students' cultural understanding and appreciation.
- Personal Growth: This program is a transformative experience that challenges students to step out of their comfort zones, build confidence, and develop independence. The friendships and memories made during this journey will last a lifetime.
