Orientation 2012: Photo Adventures

Students walk up the steep hill to Starkenburg Castle.

In the last month here at DFSR, our courtyard has been full of eager German learners, our teachers are cheerfully preparing new lessons and assignments and our offices are filled with laughter from the students during their lunch break. August always proves to be a busy time here at DFSR, and we wouldn't have it any other way!

We've collected a few photos of our inbound high school students from the last few days here in Heppenheim. The students are in their second week of intensive language courses and orientation at the DFSR headquarters before meeting their host families throughout Germany next week. You can read more about our high school program here.

Make sure to check back often to this blog or to our Facebook page for updated photos!
