Course Information:

The Advanced/Bilingual track is designed for students with previous exposure to Italian; we recommend at least one parent speak Italian in the home or have regular opportunities to interact with Italian-speaking family members, such as during the summers. The 60-minute full-immersion weekly lessons are conducted by university-educated instructors with native fluency in Italian and target improving confidence in speaking and comprehension, as well as increasing vocabulary and grammatical understanding.

Immerse your child in the beauty of the Italian language and culture through our interactive story-time sessions and delightful social activities!

The Italian Cultural Center Youth School warmly invites families—parents, grandparents, and toddlers aged 6 months to 3 years—to join us for a series of informal intergenerational gatherings on Saturday mornings at the ICC in the North Loop. Toddler Time is an interactive story-time combined with arts and crafts related to the story, and/or music (song and movement), and ends with some playtime so families can interact independently.

Session Dates: Saturdays from 9am - 9:45am (NO CLASSES on OCTOBER 17 and NOVEMBER 28).

This series is FREE for all ICC Youth School Family Members, but Donations are TRULY APPRECIATED and help us continue to offer programs such as these.

REGISTER NOW, and don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to spark your child’s curiosity, build community, and lay the foundation for multilingualism!
