New School Opening

Monday was the first day of the brand new Christliche Schule Kandern (Christian School Kandern). As far as we know, CSK is the first Christian bilingual school in Germany. This school is a partnership ministry between Black Forest Academy and the Freie Evangelische Schule Loerrach a large German Christian School near us. As you can see from this photo, lots of parents, grandparents and friends came to be a part of the opening. Following a few short speeches, the first grade class of 24 students each received a t-shirt!


Matthew is one of the new students for this class. Here he is showing us his new shirt and his school supplies done up in a special German first grade package.

Of course, coffee and kuchen had to be a part of the celebration!

Hi Doris,

So does this mean the Elementary school has a new name or all of BFA has a new name?

The name is for only elementary 1st grade. They plan to add a grade/year, so eventually that will be the name for Sitzenkirch as far as I know.
