To our friends all over the world,

At age 40, people are in the middle of their lives, have a lot of experience, know their strengths and still have many interesting projects to look forward to. That’s why we’re very pleased that the Humboldt-Institut turns 40 in 2017—and that we can celebrate with program participants from all over the world. Since our found-ing, we have welcomed over 60,000 students!

You can still find our website—with a fresh, new look starting autumn 2016—at www.humboldt-institut.org. Updated for smart-phones, tablets and PCs alike, the site presents what we have to offer and makes it even easier to select the German course that’s right for you. Check us out!

Our growth isn’t even slowing down for our anniversary, as we’ll be opening our 17th program site: a summer location in Kempten. In July, program participants here will be able to enjoy being near the Alps, countless lakes and a range of recreational opportunities in one of Germany’s oldest cities. And just in case you need to cool off a bit: your Humboldt program fees include, as always, admis-sion to the neighboring outdoor pool.

With the telc Deutsch C1 Hochschule exam now recognized at all German universities, demand for this test has risen dramatically. We are also happy to help you with any questions you have about placement and application procedures at German universities, offering the German course and test you need.

In addition to our regular German courses, we also offer attractive programs and special terms for groups and school classes, especially in the off-season. Contact us!

The Lindenberg boarding school has developed extremely well in collaboration with the local college preparatory school. Students from a total of ten countries live and learn here under one roof. In June 2016 we again saw two of our students successfully pass their high-school leaving exams—the Abitur—and are already crossing our fingers for our 2017 candidates.

We hope you have a happy and successful 2017 and look forward to the next 40 years—and hopefully to seeing you soon again as a member of the Humboldt family!

Yours,

Norbert Güthling Lennart Güthling

Why study German at the Humboldt-Institut?

Recognized examsHumboldt offers the TestDaF, TestAS and telc exams, which are internationally recognized and improve students’ chances in academics and their careers.

Transparent costsOur prices are transparent. Course fees generally include instruction, full room and board, course materials, extracurricu-lar activities and excursions. There are no hidden costs!

Safety and support around the clockWe provide support and supervision for our youths and teens 24 hours a day. Someone they can trust and talk to is always nearby.

Humboldt-Institut e.V. is a non-profit organization for teaching German as a foreign language. From a single program center at its administrative headquarters in Ratzenried Castle, the Humboldt-Institut has grown to a network of 17 program sites throughout Germany. Our success rests on giving each and every student exactly the support they need:

Small classes and intensive instructionOur students are taught by highly motivated native speakers with university degrees in classes averaging 7 - 10 participants. An intensive course 30 meets 30 lessons per week (45 minute sessions)—more than at most other institutions.

40 years of experienceOur customers benefit from 40 years of experience with German courses for over 60,000 satisfied participants from more than 160 countries.

A faster road to successNo other school prepares its participants more quickly or efficiently for the TestDaF or telc Deutsch C1 Hochschule exams for German as a foreign language. Beginners with no prior knowledge of German can successfully pass the TestDaF exam after just 8 months at the Humboldt-Institut.

Family atmosphereHumboldt-Institut schools are boarding schools, a format that enhances students’ success and their enthusiasm for the program’s community experience. We do everything we can to make our students feel at home from their very first day with us.

Studying throughout the yearOur year-round centers offer German instruction 365 days a year.

As you can see, the Humboldt-Institut optimizes student success in the shortest possible amount of time, all while making it fun to study in a motivating, German- language learning environment. We have the right German program for you!

Types of ProgramsOne of the Humboldt-Institut’s strengths is the intensity of instruction due to the high amount of lessons per week as well as the small class sizes. The following types of programs are available:Intensive Course 30 30 lessons per week Intensive Course 25 25 lessons per week Mini Group 40 40 lessons per weekOne-to-one Intensive Course 25, 30, 40 25, 30 and 40 lessons per weekClassesClasses are held Monday through Friday except on some bank holidays. One-to-one and mini group courses are taught regard-less of bank holidays. Each class lasts for 45 minutes and is usually attended by 7 to 10 students, in mini groups by 2 to 4 students. Classroom instruction focuses on listening and reading comprehension, writing skills, speaking skills and grammar.Bank Holidays (Without Lessons)May 1, Oct. 3, Nov. 1, Dec. 25, 2017Finding the Right LevelAll students are expected to take a placement test on the day of arrival or the first day of their course. Based on their results students will be assigned to a class of their language level. Dur-ing the summer months the first day is reserved for the placement test, i. e., the rest of the day is generally for orientation without instruction. We distinguish the following 6 levels accord-ing to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR):Level DurationA1 Elementary 1 5 weeks also for total beginners

A2 Elementary 2 5 weeks B1 Intermediate 1 5 weeks B2.1 Intermediate 2.1 5 weeksB2.2 Intermediate 2.2 5 weeks leads to telc Deutsch B2

C1.1 Advanced 1.1 5 weeks leads to TestDaF

C1.2 Advanced 1.2 5 weeks leads to telc Deutsch C1 Hochschule

C2.1 Advanced 2.1 5 weeksC2.2 Advanced 2.2 5 weekstotal duration 45 weeks

The duration is based on courses with 30 lessons per week.

Online Placement TestIf you wish to test your German skills in advance, you may do so by taking our online placement test (www.humboldt-institut.org). However, the online test is not a substitute for the placement test which is held on the first day of classes.

TeachersOur teachers are highly trained native speakers with university degrees, who use modern teaching methods.Teaching MaterialThe Humboldt Institute provides its students with all of the course materials and text-books they need at no charge.HomeworkTeachers daily assign homework so that students can build upon what they have learned and be prepared for class. Homework assignments are of reasonable size so that students still have plenty of time for extracurricular activities. Written homework is corrected and handed back to students so that they can monitor their progress.Weekly and Skill-level TestsParticipants in all programs take a weekly test so that students and teachers can assess the progress made during the pre-ceding week. Comprehensive exams are written at the conclusion of each level.

Accommodation and BoardStudents are generally housed in boarding schools and facilities with group accommo-dations. Students in Meersburg, Lindenberg and Berlin City also stay with host families. Full board is included in the course fee for most of our program sites.

CertificatesAt the end of the program after a final exam all participants are awarded a cer-tificate confirming the number of lessons attended as well as the skill level that the student has achieved. Grades are given for listening and reading comprehension, oral and written expression and grammar skills.TransfersTransfers to and from the airport are done as group transfers. However, efforts are made to keep the waiting time of indi-vidual students down to no more than one hour. Please inquire about the fees for transfers which take place outside of the traditional arrival and departure days (Sunday / Saturday).

Outside of ClassOur after-class program keeps students active and offers a wide variety of options, with program supervisors motivating even shy students to participate in activities.SupervisionSupervisors answer questions and solve problems while maintaining a positive, committed attitude towards all of the stu-dents’ questions and concerns. They make sure that program rules are observed day and night at locations hosting children and teenagers, while guaranteeing reliable, round-the-clock supervision for all under-age students.

Examinations

Students at the Humboldt-Institut can complete internationally recognized, standardized exams at all levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

telc Examinationstelc GmbH (The European Language Certifi-cates) is an internationally recognized test provider. Language certificates offered by telc are geared towards the Common Euro-pean Framework of Reference for Languages, making them internationally comparable and improving students’ educational and professional opportunities.

telc Deutsch A1 - C1These general language exams let you show how well you have mastered the German language in daily situations, such as trips, leisure activities or at work. Each exam con-sists of a written individual test as well as an oral exam conducted with another student or in a group.

telc Deutsch A1 JuniorThe child-friendly format of this exam is geared towards our youngest learners. The test does not take long to complete, which, along with its use of pictures and its simple and easy-to-understand tasks, tailors it to the cognitive abilities of children.

telc Deutsch A2 and B1 Schule Since their format corresponds to that of general language exams, these exams for secondary school students are equivalent to the more general exams. The telc Deutsch

Registration deadline: 23 days before the test date. Later registra-tions will only be accepted upon agreement and for an additional fee.

Tests will take approx. 4 weeks to correct.

TestASThe TestAS (test for foreign students) is a centralized, standardized test that assesses the aptitude of foreign students for uni-versity studies. For interested students from abroad, the TestAS result provides information on how they compare to other applicants and increases the chance for admission to a German university.

Exam RegistrationDates: until:February 22, 2017 January 16, 2017April 22, 2017 March 13, 2017October 28, 2017 September 11, 2017

TestDaF (“Test Deutsch als Fremdsprache”)The TestDaF exam demonstrates that a candidate has sufficient German skills for admission to a German university if he or she earns the minimum TestDaF level of 4 in each of the four exam sections. As a standardized exam for meeting university language requirements, the TestDaF is the equivalent of the DSH exam, while offering numerous other advantages: Students may take the exam as many times as they wish and, thanks to the uniformity of the exam, they can target specific areas as they prepare (see TestDaF Preparatory Courses). The TestDaF also provides evidence of language ability for anyone who wants to do research in Germany or who wants to document high language skills.Humboldt students with no prior know ledge of German would need

Schule exams, however, also cover subject matters geared specifically to young peo-ple’s life and to what they know, i. e., their leisure time, their friends, what they do for fun, and what it’s like to live in another country. A telc exam also allows young people to demonstrate their commitment, interest and determination.

telc Deutsch C1 HochschuleThis exam is geared towards adults who would like to demonstrate their German language skills because they wish to begin studying, are already studying or hope to work in an academic field at a German university. This exam tests advanced German skills needed at university level.

roughly 8 months to reach the required level of language skills. For those partici-pants who have completed level C1.1, we strongly recommend our special, two-week TestDaF preparatory course, which builds upon their language skills. The Humboldt-Institut has licensed testing centers in Constance and Berlin.

Experience two citiesWith the combination of courses in Berlin and Constance our learners have the incom-parable opportunity to experience two uniquely distinct university towns which demon-strate the diversity of Germany in landscape and in culture. Berlin—Germany’s capital and by far largest city—impresses with more than 3.5 million inhabitants and an incredible variety of sights and cultural offers. Constance, however, seems to be unhurried and laid-back with only 85,000 inhabitants, while it is rated as one of Germany’s towns with the highest quality of life due to its gorgeous location right next to Lake Constance and its proximity to Switzerland and the Alps. With our combination offer you can sample and immerse yourself into these two cities in two very different regions of Germany within only a short time.

Deutsch + Studium

18 19

The Concept“Made in Germany” is a synonym for quality the world over, and studying in Germany gives international students a clear edge over their competitors on the international job market. Germany compares well to the rest of the world in terms of higher education, offering high quality and ideal research opportunities. Plus, studying in Germany is quite affordable compared to other countries.

The ProgramInvest in your future today: the Humboldt-Institut provides consultation and support to students in our intensive courses seeking university placement in Germany. We will review your high-school and/or other academic records from your home countries and determine whether you qualify for direct or indirect admission to a German university.Our course centers in Berlin’s City district and in Constance help incoming university students reach the language level they need (B1/B2 for preparatory programs and C1 for universities) in an extremely short period of time. You will stay in affiliated guest accommodations, where you will live right on site in an international—yet German-speaking—environment so you can dedicate your full attention to your German studies. Full room and board plus after-class activities (admission fees not included) are included in course fees. For an additional fee, we will provide advice and support as you go through the process of applying for university placement.

The PlaceSituated on a hill overlooking the historic town of Bad Laasphe, Wittgenstein Castle is our program site for our youngest students. The town is located some 120 km east of Cologne and surrounded by an idyllic landscape, with the Lahn River winding its way past the half-timbered houses in the historic center of town.Our school is located in the famous Wittgenstein Castle, which includes both historical and modern buildings and offers a wide range of opportunities for sports and recreational activities. One special feature of this center is that the school has its own stables and offers an optional riding course.

We are pleased to offer a German course that you can take at the same location as your child. Held in the mornings, your class will be separate from the children‘s classes, as the course contents will be different: children‘s courses aim to improve all of the language skills your child will need later on when taking German classes at home; the objective for parents, however, is to teach practical German that will be useful for everyday life. Course offerings cover levels A1 through A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference. While you will be housed separately from the children (in private rooms in the castle) and participate, in some cases, in separate recreational activities, weekend excursions will be offered for parents and children together.

Parents‘ Course• 25 lessons per week• Mini groups (2 - 4 participants per group)• Levels: A1 - A2

Accommodation for Parents• Beautiful twin rooms (with shower/WC) in the castle• 3 main meals and 2 snacks


Fees€ 4,260.- twin rooms in the castle (3 weeks)€ 585.- surcharge single accommodation (3 weeks)

Leisure Activities & ExcursionsYou are more than welcome to participate in your child’s extracurricular activity program. Excursions for parents and children will be offered on weekends. Extra program offerings will be organized for parents.

Included areLessons, teaching material, accommodation, full board, daily leisure program, weekly excursions, entrance fees, a certificate and 24-hour supervision for the children

The ConceptGoing to school and living abroad for a period of time fosters adolescents’ develop-ment and ensures a successful future for them in a job market that is becoming more and more international—studying in Germany would enhance any resume. Our “Going to school in Germany“ program is geared towards highly motivated students between ten and seventeen years of age, and offers them the chance to participate in regular classes in German boarding schools. Upon successfully com-pleting the leaving exams of a German college preparatory program (the Abitur), students here will qualify for admission to a German university.

PrerequisitesBesides having to demonstrate generally above average academic performance, foreign candidates must also have

sufficient knowledge of the German lan-guage to be admitted to a German school. This is why they are asked first of all to attend an intensive German language course for several months at our language center in Bad Schussenried (see page 20) or in Lindenberg (see page 22). Having completed level B2, students will be inte-grated into a class at a college preparatory boarding school appropriate to their age and abilities.

Preparatory Courses in Bad Schussenried and in LindenbergOur schools in Lindenberg and in Bad Schussenried offer our students ideal con ditions to feel at ease and get used to a life in Germany. High-quality courses paired with a small number of students per class assure that students pick up the language quickly and thoroughly.

Secondary Education in Germany

Program ScheduleDepending on their prior skill level, students will need approx. two to six months to reach the required level of German (completion of Humboldt level B2). Afterwards, we offer a 5-week preparatory course (see page 50).

Upon completion of this preparatory course, foreign students can transfer to a German boarding school. The Humboldt-Institut cooperates with highly respected boarding schools throughout Germany and will gladly help students find the right school.Program StartJanuary 1, 2017February 5, 2017March 12, 2017April 16, 2017May 21, 2017June 25, 2017July 30, 2017

School Preparatory Course ages 13 -17

The ConceptAfter having successfully completed Hum-boldt level B2, our students will be able to continue their education in Germany at a Gymnasium. Here they can complete their leaving exams (see p. 48 / Secondary Education in Germany), which will qualify them for admission to a German university. In order to ease the transition between the German course and school attendance, we offer a special preparatory course aimed at teaching the terminology and methodol-ogy in the most important subject areas taught in school.

ContentThe school preparatory course is organ-ized into subject area modules such as the natural sciences (mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry) and the humanities (history, politics, geography, religion). The fine arts are covered as well. In addition to acquiring important technical vocabulary, students also learn how to summarize texts, work with sources, perform research and give presentations.

Role-playing simulation games and project work also teach students how to work in group settings.

Prerequisites• Students may only enrol after successfully completing Humboldt level B2

in Bad Schussenried and in Lindenberg

Gymnasium Linden berg

52 53

The SchoolThe Lindenberg Gymnasium (grades 5 - 12) offers two distinct educational tracks, one oriented towards language and one towards the natural sciences and technology. In addition to pure classroom instruction—instruction that meets the highest profes-sional and pedagogical standards—the school also aims to educate its students to become engaged, tolerant and responsible human beings. Viewed from this perspec-tive, school becomes a place that offers students life experience and helps them shaping their personalities. Students are not only encouraged to perform well and develop their talents—social responsibility, environmental consciousness and respect also play critical roles in the school community.

Academic Facilities and Services• Large spectrum of elective courses and work groups• Tutoring for homework• Conflict mediation team• Computer rooms and IT training• Library• School cafeteria• International student exchange program• Study trips

The Boarding SchoolStudents are housed at the Humboldt-Institut boarding school in Lindenberg (see p. 22). The boarding school provides an attractive infrastructure and offers sup-port services that cater to the special needs of the students. These benefits will help young people to integrate quickly into daily life in Germany, while nurturing their continued language development and—most importantly—helping them to estab-lish and maintain social contacts. Besides their academic achievement, living and studying in a German environment with an international, cosmopolitan atmosphere also fosters the students’ personal develop-ment.

Boarding School Concept• Mentor program• German language support program• Supervised leisure activities & planned excursions• 24-hour supervision• After-school sponsorship with German students• Activities with German students, e. g. conversation partners, English Club

The Lindenberg Gymnasium (preparation for the German “Abitur”)

Groups

Our year-round schools in Lindenberg, Bad Schussenried, Constance and Berlin City can accommodate groups throughout the year (see page 55). During off-season, the terms offered at these centers are especially economical. Additional program centers are open in the summer.

In the afternoon students can test their knowledge and try out what they have learned with their classmates from all over the world. This enhances their motivation, promotes tolerance and contributes to the fun of speaking a foreign language.
