We are asking for your support in raising awareness for Heritage Language Education.

A year ago, on International Mother Language Day 2024, the Heritage Language Education Network launched the Global Call to Action to strengthen support for heritage language education and culture education of multilingual children world-wide. The Call to Action has been supported by many domestic and international stakeholders including the GLSC. In time for International Mother Language Day 2025 the Heritage Language Education Network has announced that the easy-to-use list of recommendations accompanying the Global Call to Action is now available in German as well.

WHO WE ARE

Founded in 1978, the German Language School Conference (GLSC) is the only national organization dedicated to the needs of community-based German language schools in the United States. Our mission is to link member schools with a central organization for information and support. We assist in the establishment of new language schools and provide a forum for sharing experiences and advice.

WHAT WE DO

The GLSC serves as a resource to language schools for best practices, administrative information and policies to further our common goals of maintaining and fostering the language and culture of German speaking countries in the US. We represent the interests of our member schools to German and US government agencies, professional organizations and other stakeholders.

MEMBERSHIP

GLSC members are German language schools and other schools with German language programs across the US.

Organizations and individuals whose goals are consistent with those of the GLSC are members as well.

Members elect the trustees of the GLSC board at the Annual Meeting in the Fall.

EVENTS

Button

The GLSC offers networking opportunities for educators and administrators. We organize a yearly professional development conference in cooperation with the German Consulate General in New York, which is geared to the special concerns of German language schools.
