English is the primary language of instruction. Italian is the host country language and is taught as a language A in the curriculum; Italian B is offered as a language acquisition course for non-native speakers; in Early Years, Italian instruction is integrated with weekly Italian language exposure.
Each class has a native English-speaking, certified homeroom teacher supported by a bilingual assistant.
English language acquisition is used to immerse children who do not speak English or are beginning to speak English.
