What is the Tacoma German Language School?
Founded in 1970, TGLS is an independent, tax-exempt 501 (c)(3) organization, designed to provide the highest quality language and cultural program for students while keeping expenses and tuition as low as possible.
Our program can introduce German as a second language to American children and adults, as well as help children of Austrian, German, and Swiss backgrounds improve their knowledge of the language and culture.
Classes and Day Camp meet at the comfortable facilities of Christ Lutheran Church located in a wooded setting north of Gravelly Lake.
