Students in the exploratory level build their Italian vocabulary with fairy tales like Pinocchio, Il Brutto Anatroccolo (The Ugly Duckling) and I Tre Porcellini (The Three Little Pigs).
Students in higher levels are learning the language and culture with the aid of textbooks, handouts, videos, games and songs.
All levels are exposed to memorable cultural experiences. During the holiday season children learn Italian holiday songs and the Christmas legend of “La Befana.” For “Carnevale” the Italian Mardi Gras, students learn the origin of the different Venetian masks and then make their own. They are also exposed to imaginary trips to Italy, exploring ancient monuments, churches and city squares.
