The school offers a German immersion program for Kindergarten through eighth grade, the first immersion in the district.

In Grades 3, 6, and 8, German exams produced by Germany (A1, A2, B1) are administered; Service High School administers the B2/C1 exam, often required for German universities. The school uses ASD RTI and tracks progress with AIMSweb and ASD testing.
