NEWPORT BEACH, CA — At the GERMAN SCHOOL campus, we know that the heart of Central Europe beats in Vienna. As California’s premier **WASC-accredited German school**, we are proud to offer a cultural and academic gateway that goes beyond Berlin. As a **Licensed ÖSD Exam Centre**, we provide our students with a specific, pluricentric advantage: an official passport to success across the entire **DACH region** (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland).

While many German programs focus exclusively on the Standard German of Germany, our curriculum celebrates the unique cultural and linguistic “pluricentrism” of Austria. This means our students develop a richer, more sophisticated understanding of the German-speaking world, preparing them for diverse academic and professional pathways in Central Europe.

Official ÖSD Exams (A1–C2)

Internationally recognized certification (Österreichisches Sprachdiplom Deutsch) is the gold standard required for university entrance and professional visas in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.
