We currently offer programs for students from 5 years old through middle school. Students are divided in groups of 6-12 and attend class five days a week. Personalised options and online programs are available. Because of small class sizes, the atmosphere is calm and serene and supports more than traditional subject-matter study. During group lessons, instruction is conducted in both Italian and English, with native Italian students learning alongside native English-speaking students as part of a dual-immersion program. The subjects covered include English (language and literature), Math, Italian, Science, History, Geography, Music, Art, Physical Education (includes various forms of Phys. Ed.), Special Project, and Critical Thinking.
