In the course of four decades, the German Language School has undergone remarkable development, transforming from a solo endeavor into a thriving institution boasting over 170 dedicated employees. Here is how GLS celebrated this milestone.
07–NOV–2023 | PRODIREKT and Verbalists Education had the honor of participating in the grand celebration of GLS German Language School’s 40-year journey, characterized by continuous growth. Our partnership spanning more than 15 years with this esteemed language institution is a testament to its impressive trajectory, and we are privileged to have contributed to their milestone anniversary. The festivities were exceptional, and we are thrilled to share some highlights captured in the video below.
Established in 1983 by entrepreneur Barbara Jaeschke, GLS continues under her leadership today, alongside her daughters Dr. Reemda Jaeschke and Dr. Verena Jaeschke.
What began as a solo endeavor four decades ago has flourished into a thriving enterprise with 170 staff members and a student base exceeding 10,000 from around the world. Despite challenges such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic, GLS has demonstrated resilience and growth, serving as a model of successful family succession in a medium-sized, woman-led company.
A significant moment in GLS’s history is the establishment of the GLS Campus in Berlin. This endeavor entailed acquiring and renovating a collection of historically significant buildings in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg district.
In 2005, GLS acquired and renovated an abandoned school, followed by the restoration of an adjacent bathhouse in 2011, which had been vacant for three decades. In 2015, after extensive refurbishment, the bathhouse reopened as a hotel, becoming an integral part of the GLS Campus, which also includes the GLS Language School with 60 seminar rooms. With its outstanding facilities, the GLS Campus has evolved into a venue for international events, photography sessions, and conferences.
The GLS German Language School offers a range of year-round courses at its Berlin campus, as well as summer camps held at various locations throughout Germany. Explore here their most sought-after programs available through the Verbalists Language Network worldwide.
On behalf of our teams at PRODIREKT and Verbalists Education, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to our esteemed partner!
