What is SLA (Schoenstatt Language Academy) ?

SLA – Schoenstatt Language Academy

SLA is an Initiative of the Secular Institute of Schoenstatt Fathers, which offers German language courses, levels A1, A2, B1 and B2. Our institute is founded in Germany with a charism to renew the church and the society through the covenant of love with our heavenly Mother. Therefore, we have excellent faculty, among which we have priests, who were trained in Germany and have many years of experience studying and working in Germany.
