Children’s Italian Classes

The Hamilton Dante Centre in conjunction with various school boards offers FREE language classes for all elementary students! This school year, we will be offering both an in-person and a virtual learning program option.

Students and their parents can choose to take part in a physical classroom or an online learning experience with their instructor and classmates.

LET’S LEARN ITALIANO!

The focus of this program is to offer students at the elementary level an opportunity to develop and maintain the ability to listen, speak, read, write, and understand a new language or the language of the home or heritage.

• Students will be provided with engaging, interactive, and age-appropriate activities.
• Previous knowledge or background of the language is NOT required.
• This is a continuous intake program, and students can register up to April 1, 2026.
• To participate in the online program, your child will need to have access to technology and the Internet
