About German-American School

Since 1960, the German-American School of Palo Alto (GASPA) has offered immersion-based instruction in the German language and in the culture, traditions, and geography of the world's German-speaking countries. The school is independent organization and is not affiliated with any school or religious organization. Classes are open to all students interested in learning about German in German regardless of race, color, creed, sexual orientation, or national origin. We are looking for German Language Teachers for all ages and levels (Pre-K through adult) for our German Saturday School Program in Menlo Park. Saturday School classes are held on the campus of Alto International School. Barbara is a first generation German-American born and raised in the Bay Area. As a child she spent Saturday mornings at the German School of the Mid-Peninsula in Redwood City. She has a Bachelor's Degree in German and International Relations from UC Davis. For several years she lived in Wurzburg, Germany with her husband while he was part of the US Army. They returned to California to raise a family and have two boys. Barbara enjoys being a part of the GASPA community and sharing the German language and traditions with the children.
