The German college Goethe in Bucharest has expanded with a new kindergarten, which was inaugurated earlier this week. The new kindergarten has become functional in a building located in the First District of Bucharest, at 22 Christian Tell St., where the French highschool used to be hosted. The city hall rented out and revamped the place “without a big financial effort,” said the First District mayor Andrei Chiliman.

About 20 teachers are part of the kindergarten’s staff, and teach 530 students, including in the zero and first grades, according to Agerpres.

The Goethe College is a state-run school under the Education Ministry, and all subjects are taught in German. “In recent years, our highschool has become popular, which is a joy, but  quantity does not always ensure quality. The number of classes went up, and it became harder for us to find German language teachers,” said Cristina Popa, director of the Goethe College.
