1Who this course is for
1
Children aged 9 and above
Any child at an Italian school, whether they arrived last month or have been here a while and still struggle in lessons.
2
Explained in your child's own language
We teach Italian through Sinhala or English, so your child understands the logic of the language instead of copying words from the board.
3
From the first letter to studying alone
Our goal is for your child to study History, Science and every other subject in Italian without a translator beside them.
Your child already knows some Italian? Please do not register below. Take our free placement test first and we will put them in the group that matches their level.

2How the classes work
Every Saturday: a 2-hour main class in a small group, working through the Melitalia textbook (grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing).
Once a week after school: a 1-hour speaking session, where your child learns to actually speak Italian.
The parent app: see test results, what was covered each week and the teacher’s feedback, whenever you like.

4How your child's seat is confirmed
1
Seats are limited
Each group takes a small number of children, so every child gets attention from the teacher.
2
Paying confirms the seat
After you pay, we send you a link to give the delivery address for the book.
3
If the group fills first, your child goes on the waiting list
So if you have already decided, paying early is safest. We tell you by email and in the app if your child is on the waiting list.
5The certificate
At the end of the programme every child who completes the course receives an Attestato di Partecipazione, a formal Italian certificate of their work and progress during the year.
