Student Accolades

Congratulations - Herzlichen Glückwunsch ! 2018-2019

Bi-literacy Seal -

In late January & early February, 8 Students took the STAMP Test (https://avantassessment.com/stamp) to evaluate their performance in all 4 skills (Speaking, Writing, Reading and Listening). 7 students scored Intermediate-Mid and Above in all 4 skills. They will have the Bi-literacy Seal on their diploma. The 8th student scored Intermediate-Low or higher after a year of German, and earned the Seal for Spanish.

Congratulations to:

Alexander Temiakov, Zoë Gold, Melissa Oberstaedt, Maya Gairo, Craig Robinson, Cameron Lund, Blake Weiss (all 7 in German) & Colin Landis (in Spanish and almost in German, as well.)

2018-19 National German Exams - Medal Awardees are on the Honor Roll: https://www.aatg.org/page/NGEHonorRoll

National German Exam Level 1

This test is given later in the year to allow students to have more exposure to German before taking a nationwide assessment. In contrast to exams that parents grew up on, this one confronts students with authentic media already in Level 1. (To be honest, it can be overwhelming for many, therefore this exam, as well as the future years, are all taken on a voluntary basis.)

Congratulations to everyone. Here are the highest performers:

• Gold Medal: Thomas Ji (97% in the Standard Group Percentile nationwide)
• Silver Medal: Jillian Danberry
• Bronze Medals: Rifah Jamal, Akshay Shah, Stefano Sul, Miriam Bouch
• Achievment Awards: Gabriel Arato, Deniz Alpdogan, Matt Park, Robert Schweitzer
• Very close behind with very respectable scores were: Devin Leung, Eric Kang, Alexander Smith
