Building Bilingual Brains For Extra Advantages

The earlier a child is exposed to a second language, the easier it is to acquire. We immerse preschool and school-age children in Italian to unlock the benefits of bilingualism, including stronger cognitive skills, to give them an advantage in school and beyond. 

Italian Intersects With Learning To Enrich The Experience

In our asilo, scuola elementare, and summer camp, children engage in creative learning experiences in Italian that enrich learning, give them a head start in school, and support their classroom academics.

Asilo

Music, art, drama, and other creative and cultural activities in Italian are integrated into our preschoolers’ playtime to support their pre-academic skills. 

After-School Classes

Italian instruction connects with science, social studies, mathematics, and arts to support language acquisition and academic success.

Summer Camp

Themed interactive activities, including songs, crafts, and movement, engage children in Italian language, active fun, and friendship during the summer break.

Our Italian Christmas Concert Is A Highlight

In the run-up to Christmas each year, children aged 4–12 learn traditional Italian Christmas hymns and carols like Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle. The experience boosts students’ confidence and brings our community together. 

Small Class Sizes For Personalized Instruction

Our experienced, qualified maestras lead students in small groups so they can get to know and support each child. With individualized care and instruction, your child feels welcome and cared for as they thrive in every area of learning.
