Located in the heart of the city, the Goethe-Institut Toronto is the meeting point and partner for anyone who is interested in contemporary German art and culture as well as the German language. We offer extensive language courses and examinations for beginners and those with more advanced levels of German. A high quality of standards and topicality in our teaching methods are important to us. As a result, we offer a variety of extensive workshops, teacher training seminars and stipendiums for Canadian teachers of German as a foreign language at schools and universities in five provinces: Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Through a spectrum of cultural events, the Goethe-Institute has been leading continuous dialogue and cultural exchanges between German and Canadian artists over the last 50 years, presenting German culture abroad and providing a contemporary look at the country. The library serves as a resource hub for German language learning and teaching as well as up-to-date information on social, political and cultural life in Germany. The Goethe-Institut is the official cultural institution of the Republic of Germany. With 149 institutes and 10 liason offices in 93 countries, we share information about German culture and language with Canadians. In 2011, the "Goethe-Institut e.V." celebrated its 60th anniversary. The Canadian institutes were founded in 1962.
