The Virginia Governor's German Academy is hosted by Sweet Briar College just
north of Lynchburg. In 2000 the Academy will run from July 1 through 23. The
forty-five students are divided into four "classes":
Germany, Switzerland,
Austria, and Liechtenstein.
We offer interesting mini-courses, Activity groups,
Sports, and evening programs-- all in German,
of course!
In the spirit of the German Academy, this is the only page in English.
