Paying tribute to German-American friendship month in September, on Sept. 17 the Hudson School and German Language Autobahn participated in the 54rd Annual Steuben Parade of New York City.
Students, parents and teachers walked in the New Jersey division of the parade on Fifth Avenue from 67th Street to 86th Street. The German-American Steuben Parade is the largest event of this kind in the U.S. Hundreds of music and dance groups, costumed and masked Karnevalgroups as well as traditional dresses and formations take part.

The Hudson School, founded in 1978, located in Hoboken, offers a broad and rigorous academic and arts curriculum to children ages 5-12. Children must take four years of a modern foreign language (German, Japanese, French or Spanish) as well as two years of Latin.
In high school, Hudson School students continue their study of a modern foreign language and many students study through the advanced placement levels. Students have spent a year abroad in France, Spain, Germany, Japan and Italy and enjoyed home stays in Costa Rico, Brazil, France, Mexico and the Czech Republic.
Every year the school welcomes exchange students from all over world. In 2009, one Hudson School student won the Premier $15,000 scholarship sponsored by the U.S. Congress and German Bundestag to study in Germany for one academic year.
