Fairview Philosophy
The purpose of the German language program at Fairview is to enrich each child's educational experience through intensive daily exposure (approximately 60 minutes of instruction per day) to the "German language and culture." Ultimately, each child should:

• Learn to understand, speak, read and write German
• Develop an understanding for German speaking people and their way of life
• Develop an appreciation for the contributions of German-Americans to American life
• Develop positive multi-ethnic and multicultural attitudes, demonstrate improved learning skills and
• Behave in a manner reflecting increased self discipline

Curriculum
German instruction at Fairview is provided within the framework of an intensive Foreign Language in the Elementary School (FLES) program with emphasis on content enrichment. In addition to traditional foreign language instruction, topics in curriculum areas such as social studies, science and math are covered in the German classroom as well. There is an extensive, detailed German curriculum for each grade level. Authentic materials, German textbooks, and a variety of regalia are implemented on a regular basis to supplement the established curriculum at each grade level.
