Company Description
The Germanic-American Institute’s mission is connecting people to a broader world through German language and culture. Our vision is to be an international leader in welcoming people of all backgrounds to experience their shared humanity through celebration of the culture, innovation and values of the modern German-speaking world.
We offer high-quality immersion-style German language education for all ages and levels. Our language services are a much-needed resource for German-language learning at a time when high schools and universities are limiting their programs.
The GAI’s Kinderstube German Immersion Preschool provides our youngest learners with an exciting and caring classroom environment that fosters lifelong appreciation of language and culture.
Throughout the year, the GAI’s cultural programs and events connect audiences large and small to Germanic culture. From St. Paul Oktoberfest, to intimate gatherings with authors and artists, our events are accessible to anyone with an interest in Germanic culture.
The GAI is an affiliate (Kulturgesellschaft) of the Goethe-Institut, a worldwide cultural institute of the Federal Republic of Germany, which promotes the study of German and encourages international cultural exchange. As an Goethe-Institut affiliate and an accredited Goethe-Institut examination center, the GAI provides language education, proficiency exams, cultural programs, and events.

The GAI Haus at 301 Summit Avenue is available on a limited basis to rent for private events. We mainly book small to medium sized events that require only a portion of the Haus, with occasional exceptions for weddings and other events that fit the right profile.
