About Alster German Academy
Alster German Academy sits beside the city-centre lakes that give Hamburg its calm, open feel. Small classes, lake-side breaks and a busy cultural programme make immersion easy in this elegant northern city.
Accredited by EAQUALS and a member of FaDaF, the school keeps classes small (8–12 students) and its groups genuinely international, so German is the only common language from your very first morning.
