The Goethe-Institut was founded in 1951 by the government of Germany. It operates as a non-profit cultural institution for the promotion of German language study abroad and encouraging international cultural exchange. There are Goethe-Instituts worldwide. It is named after Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 – 1832), considered one of Germany’s greatest literary figures of the modern era. Learn more here.

Our staff is made up of both Chinese and German teachers, all of whom have been certified and trained by Goethe-Institut before stepping foot in the classroom. Every teacher also takes part in the Goethe-Institut’s regular advanced training courses, helping them continually improve and keep up with the latest research and teaching practises. In addition, the Goethe-Institut regularly audits our teaching and course structures to ensure world-class teaching standards.
