OUr History
Early in 2008, Austrian, Swiss, and German families in the Columbus, Ohio area came together with two common goals:
* To provide instruction in the German language
* To instill a knowledge of and appreciation for the culture and traditions of German-speaking people
Toward that end, a local chapter of D.A.N.K. (Deutsch Amerikanischer National Kongress: German American National Congress) was established, which provided organizational assistance for their dream: a German language 'immersion' school. It quickly became apparent that there was interest in the community, and our first classes were held in the fall of 2008.
In 2011, the American Center for German Culture, a non-profit organization, took us under their wing as the Ohio German Language School. We helped to support their mission to connect others to all things German and German-American, and we have been growing ever since.
In 2025, we rang in the new year with a new name. This year we are proud to share in ACGC's name and OGLS is now called ACGC German School Columbus (in German: ACGC Deutsche Schule Columbus)
