Why The Center
A Wide Variety of Fun Activities - All in English
Since opening its doors in 2005, The Center has steadily grown and now offers a wide range of activities in English for students of all ages. Our classes are designed to suit different language levels ranging from total beginners to fluent speakers and are taught by native English-speaking instructors. The Center's artistic staff are all professionals in their field: dancers, musicians, actors, singers, artists.Staying true to our concept, we've kept The Center small enough to convey an intimate, homey feel. And we're proud to say it's run with a personal touch, heartfelt sincerity and love. That's the way we want it to stay.

Language Learning through Activities
Motivation is a key to successful language learning. This is why we offer our students a wide variety of activities to choose from: dancing, singing, acting, physical exercises, games ... Studies have confirmed that this two-for-one approach can be highly effective.
Native English-speaking Instructors
The Center - true to its name - is a place of communication and it is important to us that the English used and taught by us is natural and authentic. Therefore, we are a team of native English speakers from around the world.
A Wide Variety of Quality Classes
We offer children and youth the opportunity to thoroughly explore and develop different interests and talents. They may move on from class to class, from year to year while preserving the same stimulating social and creative environment they have grown accustomed to at The Center.
A message from Martina - Director of The Center
I was lucky! I was brought up speaking two languages - German and English. I spent my formative years in both Chicago and Cambridge, Massachusetts, where I attended school until age 8. When I moved to Germany with my parents, I missed Fruit Loops, my best friend, and my ballet school and would have loved to join a place where I could meet other English-speaking kids.Being bilingual myself and as a mom of a bilingual kid, I am well aware of the advantages, but also of the challenges of living with different cultures, school systems and languages. While some children grow up with three or more languages and speak all of them fluently, others need a little extra support to start speaking their second - but they're all lucky.
Language Levels
Each child attending classes at The Center has unique language skills and needs. This is why we attribute different language levels to all our classes. We do not offer language assessment tests, but try to find the right class and language level for each kid by talking intensively with the parents and offering opportunities for trial hours. Thus, your children will meet the right kind of challenge to further develop their English language competence.

Our team of international instructors was chosen for their qualification, teaching experience and enthusiasm. The Center's artistic staff are all professionals in their field: dancers, musicians, actors, singers.A Flexible System
