Who We Are
The Indianapolis German Language School (IGLS) is a traditional Saturday school and community partner supported by the Indiana German Heritage Society (IGHS). Founded in 1983, we are a welcoming community that brings families together to learn German through language, culture, and hands-on experiences. Our program blends meaningful instruction in small classes with fun, traditional activities and events (like our annual Nikolaustag celebration) to help students truly immerse themselves in the German-speaking world. IGLS is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Our History The Samstagsschule program began at Indiana University’s World Languages Department and under Professor Claudia Grossmann’s leadership, welcomed families for many decades. After closing during the COVID pandemic, the program reopened in Fall 2023 as the Indianapolis German Language School, now a nonprofit supported by IGHS. The school continues this tradition with a volunteer board, returning teachers, and classes for both children and adults. Our Teachers Our teachers are native or bilingual German speakers.
