German has a long tradition of excellent results at JAGS, disproving the myth that it is a particularly difficult language to learn. The grammar is very logical and with practice girls can handle it with confidence. Much German vocabulary is similar to English as these two languages have the same origins.

To give girls an opportunity to speak the language and to experience German culture, they can take part in the Christmas markets trip in Years 8 and 9. All girls in Years 8 to 12 are invited to come on the exchange visit to Nuremberg in southern Germany, and for Years 12 and 13 we offer study trips to Berlin and Vienna. Pupils are also encouraged to do a week of work experience in Germany.
