Why Kids should learn Italian?

Learning a foreign language gives children the chance to develop new skills, and it opens their mind to new art, music, and entertainment. Studies have shown that learning another language improves cognitive development, which can improve critical thinking and problem-solving skills. 

Give your child the passport to a virtual experience and discover Italy without leaving the comfort of your home! Your child will be immersed in the richness and beauty of Italy, its language, culture, and traditions.

Why study Italian at the ICCC.

The Italian Language School at the ICCC is a professional institution that teaches and promotes the Italian language and culture. Italian language classes are held year-round for adults and children and range from beginner to advanced level. All our teachers are native Italians and highly qualified. Their loyalty to the school and our programs is rewarded so as to guarantee a quality standard and promote a common goal of continuous improvement. The Italian Language School is the only Institution in town recognized by the Italian government. We follow the European Framework of Reference (CEFR) for teaching Italian: each course develops skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Our classes are organized into levels ranging from complete beginner (level A) to most advanced (level C). Each level consists of seven sessions each one of seven weeks. Students meet once a week for two hours. Our group classes can be both online and in-person and they take place in the late afternoon and early evening. Daytime classes can be planned, if requests meet the required number needed for a class. A minimum of 4 students per class is required. Class size is limited to 10 students to ensure each person has the opportunity to interact with the group and the teacher.
