The German American Partnership Program began in 1972 and was reorganized in 1977.  The goal of the program is to promote the exchange of students, teachers, and school administrators in Germany and the United States and Canada.

GAPP began at Antietam High School with a visit from Kleines Privates Lehrinstitut Derksen in 1988.  The schools have continued to be partners through present day visiting one another biannually.  A group of 10 to 15 students usually participates. Students stay with host families in the Munich area and attend classes at their partner school.
