At Collina Italiana, they believe children learn best when they are having fun. Their Italian programs are designed to make language learning a natural, engaging experience while introducing children to the beauty of Italian culture, creativity, and community.
From toddlers taking their first steps in Italian to teens preparing for official language certification, Collina Italiana offers programs for children of different ages, levels, and learning goals. Collina Italiana's small classes are taught by experienced, native Italian-speaking instructors who create a welcoming environment where children can build confidence and develop their Italian skills.
Collina Italiana's group Italian classes are available for children ages 2–16, from beginner to intermediate and bilingual levels. Younger students learn through games, songs, storytelling, movement, arts and crafts, and interactive activities. As children grow up, they gradually develop their vocabulary, conversation skills, reading, writing, and grammar. Bilingual students can further strengthen their Italian through age-appropriate materials and activities.
For families looking for a more personalized experience, private and semi-private lessons are available for children of all ages and can be tailored to each child's level, learning style, schedule, and goals.
Beyond language classes, children can experience Italian through LaborARTE workshops, creative Saturday events for ages 3–8. Each workshop explores a different theme connected to Italian culture, art, holidays, or traditions through storytelling, music, dancing, and hands-on activities.
Collina Italiana also offers Italian camps for children ages 3–8, combining language learning with games, music, dance, art, movies, reading, writing, and cultural activities. During summer camp, children can also enjoy outdoor activities while practicing Italian and making new friends.
For older students ages 12–18, Collina Italiana's language certification program provides preparation for the CELI exam, helping students officially demonstrate their Italian language skills.
At Collina Italiana, learning Italian is more than memorizing words and grammar. It is about discovering a language, connecting with others, exploring Italian culture, and having fun along the way.
Let your child discover the joy of Italian!
