Willkommen an der Milwaukee German Immersion School. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Sie unsere Website besuchen. Nehmen Sie sich die Zeit, alles \u00fcber unsere Schule und unser Programm zu erfahren. Ich bin nicht nur der Schulleiter, sondern auch ein ehemaliger Sch\u00fcler unseres Programms und ehemaliger Klassenlehrer von der German Immersion School. Dar\u00fcber hinaus sind auch meine Kinder auf diese Schule gegangen. Immersionslernen schenkt Kindern eine zweite Sprache. MGIS ist das \u00e4lteste Immersionsprogramm in Wisconsin und geh\u00f6rt zu den \u00e4ltesten Deutsch-Immersionsprogrammen der Welt. Diese langj\u00e4hrige Erfahrung erm\u00f6glicht es uns, unsere Sch\u00fcler, die aus dem gesamten Gro\u00dfraum Milwaukees zu uns kommen, auf st\u00e4ndig hohem Niveau zu Weltb\u00fcrgern zu machen. Unterst\u00fctzt werden wir dabei von unserem hervorragenden Elternbeirat (PTA).<\/em><\/p>\n

Wir hoffen, dass Ihnen das Kennenlernen unserer preisgekr\u00f6nten Schule gef\u00e4llt, und wir stehen Ihnen f\u00fcr alle Ihre Fragen gerne zur Verf\u00fcgung.<\/em><\/p>\n
