Testimonials

One of the DSC many testimonials:

Claudia Prager began attending Deutsche Schule Charlotte in 1974, the year the school opened.

Fifty years later, one of her children successfully graduated, while the other still attends the DSC.

In its five decades, the school has taught hundreds of students' German language and culture, and many have gone on to attend universities in Germany or work for German companies.

Prager, whose parents are German, attended the school from ages 3 to 15, when her father worked for BASF in Charlotte; she later spoke German regularly in her career in international business.

“I know that without attending German school as I was growing up in the U.S., it would have been extremely difficult to just jump into the German school system in 10th grade,” said Prager, who speaks German with German business associates at her job at Britax Child Safety.

“German school helped me prepare for that and paved my international career path and appreciation of the German and international cultures.”
