NOW OFFERING an ACCELERATED Kids' Course!
This class meets for 90-minutes IN-PERSON on Saturdays from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. This faster-paced track is designed for students (Age 11 and older) who are highly motivated and capable of completing practice assignments at home. It's also ideal for students who already speak another romance language and want to strengthen their understanding of Italian spelling and grammar. Depending on the age of your student, there is the possibility to advance to an AP Prep course or another course for High School academic credit for Fall 2025. Please speak to the instructor towards the end of the semester.
Our Accelerated course is a 12-week (18 hrs) comprehensive program that focuses on teaching the fundamentals of Italian grammar while building students' speaking, listening comprehension, reading, and writing skills. The course offers a well-rounded learning experience by successfully weaving together culture and language, ensuring that students learn the language and gain a deeper understanding of Italian culture.
After each lesson, families will receive an email summary of the pages and activities covered in class. This will help you keep track of your child's progress and guide them in completing the practice and review assignments for the following week.
NO CLASS on February 15 (Presidents' Day Weekend), March 29 and April 5 (Spring Break) and April 19 (Pasqua/Easter).
