DeutschAkademie

DeutschAkademie is an award-winning language school with over 20 years of experience in teaching German as a foreign language. Its first language school was founded in Vienna in 1999 by Pascal Pätow and has been a family business since. Since its inception, DeutschAkademie has expanded significantly, opening numerous other locations throughout Germany and Austria, and also offering online courses to a global audience. Annually, over 20,000 students learn German at its schools in cities including Vienna, Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Cologne, Stuttgart, and Leipzig, or through its online platform. The institution prides itself on providing interactive and effective German courses in small groups, typically ranging from 7 to a maximum of 12 participants, ensuring personalized attention and a conducive learning environment. This approach, combined with attractive pricing and a money-back guarantee, underscores their commitment to quality and student satisfaction.

The DeutschAkademie caters to all proficiency levels, from A1 to C2, based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). They offer a variety of course formats, including intensive courses, semi-intensive courses, weekend courses, and online live sessions, all taught by highly qualified, native-speaking teachers with extensive experience. The curriculum is designed to be communicative and interactive, fostering rapid progress and enjoyment in learning. In addition to language instruction, DeutschAkademie provides supplementary resources such as a free online grammar trainer with over 25,000 exercises. The schools are strategically situated in central city locations, making them easily accessible and allowing students to immerse themselves in the local culture. The DeutschAkademie Group was acquired via a Management Buy-in in May 2022, which resolved the succession of its two founders. The company emphasizes a dynamic work environment and views global changes, like digitalization, as opportunities for growth and optimization.
