Online Italian summer programs for children living in Italy — whether starting school this September or already attending. Small groups, Italian teachers, real results.
Without the pressure of school tests and homework, children can focus purely on understanding and speaking. Two months of consistent practice makes a real difference by September.
Two completely different programs — one to prepare children for school, one to keep them sharp during summer. Read both below and choose the one that fits your child.
Children who recently arrived in Italy and will start Italian school for the first time in September. They may know little or no Italian yet.
By September, your child will walk into school knowing basic Italian, understanding what the teacher says, and feeling confident enough to participate — not lost and silent on day one.
A structured, step-by-step school preparation curriculum covering the four essential areas a child needs before entering Italian school.
Children who have already been attending Italian school in Italy. They know some Italian but need to stay active, sharp, and confident over summer.
Keep Italian alive and growing during the long summer break. Your child returns to school in September more fluent, more confident, and ahead — not rusty and behind.
Unlike a standard class, children here are assessed and placed in groups that match their current Italian level — so nobody is bored and nobody is left behind.
No textbooks. No memorising grammar rules. This program runs entirely through interactive, fun activities that make children use Italian naturally.
Both programs run every weekday in July and August. Three daily time slots are available — choose all that work for your family during registration.

During registration, parents will be asked to select one of the following options to describe their child's Italian school experience:
On the first day, children are placed into suitable groups so that every child works with peers at a similar level.
The program runs 9 weeks in total — from Monday 29 June to Friday 28 August. Every week is Mon–Fri, 2 hours a day (10 hours per week). Pick how you want to pay below. All prices include IVA (22% tax) — the price you see is the only price you pay.
Every child who completes the Italian School Preparation Summer Program receives an official Attestato di Partecipazione — a formal certificate recognising their commitment and progress over the summer.
This certificate is a meaningful record of your child's dedication and the Italian language skills they developed before starting school in September.

Both programs have a limited number of places. Payment at registration secures your child's spot — once full, we cannot add more students.
