The Advanced/Bilingual track is designed for students with previous exposure to Italian; we recommend at least one parent speak Italian in the home or have regular opportunities to interact with Italian-speaking family members, such as during the summers. The 60-minute full-immersion weekly lessons are conducted by university-educated instructors with native fluency in Italian and target improving confidence in speaking and comprehension, as well as increasing vocabulary and grammatical understanding.

Youth School's FESTA DI NATALE and POTLUCK

DECEMBER 13, 2025

Join us for our Annual Youth School Holiday Tradition!

Youth School students of all ages and proficiency levels, along with their extended families, are invited to immerse themselves in a variety of Italian Christmas traditions.

Tombola: Experience Italy's most quintessential Christmas game, a beloved holiday pastime that brings family and friends together.

Mercante in Fiera: Always a hit, this popular (yet lesser-known) game is very Italian and very fun. Kids will learn vocabulary and win prizes!

Pizzelle: Learn to make one of Italy's iconic sweet treats, perfect for the holiday season.

Biglietti di Auguri: Make Natale-themed arts and crafts, or write a holiday card to someone you love, all in Italian, with some great new expressions!

Celebrate the holidays by practicing new vocabulary, socializing, and enjoying some favorite Italian Christmas treats, including delicious desserts and festive fun!

RSVP and let us know what you will bring to the Potluck.

BUON NATALE!
