"Building Bridges"
The Italian American Academy is a not-for-profit organization of parents and educators whose ultimate goal is to develop fully bilingual and bicurricular scholastic programs for children, and to preserve and promote the Italian Culture.
For more information on our programs click here to access our programs page. NEW! In addition to our regular classes we are now offering new programs at the French American School! Click here for more information.
Blending rigorous European curriculum and dynamic American teaching style, our programs are based on the current and official elementary school curriculum of Italy. Our classes are taught by native speakers educators and are open to all children.
Science has proven that learning a second language (or simply being exposed to it) not only is a social and professional asset for the future of children, but it actually optimizes their learning potential in every field and subject. Every child can benefit, native and non-native Italian speakers alike.
The Italian American Academy is committed to offering a nurturing environment where children can develop independent critical thinking, and expand their horizons while immersed in a bicultural environment, where Italian culture meets American life.
We offer afternoon enrichment classes in Italian, at our location in La Jolla or at your children's schools. We are also recruiting volunteers who have an appreciation for the preservation and promotion of Italian culture and who share the same dream of giving children the gift of Italian language and culture, and the benefits of international education.
