Girotondo Italian Academy
Girotondo Italian Academy offers a full immersion Italian educational program in which Italian is used exclusively by the students and teachers in our Preschool, Kindergarten and Elementary classes. We meet both Italian and CA Standards. Our educational philosophy and methodology is based on the Reggio Emilia approach. We facilitate the student’s success by honoring their individual interests and developmental needs by working in collaboration with their families, teachers and administrators.
The primary goals of Girotondo Italian Academy are:
- To expose students to Italian language, culture and traditions in a nurturing and stimulating learning environment that offers them an international education of the highest standards.
- To prepare our students to successfully enter any Italian and English school in the world.
- To create an appropriate environment for students to find peers with whom they can share their Italian skills.
- To foster creative and active learners who will become well-rounded and internationally minded world citizens.
- To expose students from a very young age to art and music.
- To maintain a very high standard of qualified teachers and administrators.
- To build a community that shares a passion for the Italian language, culture and tradition within the frame work of a high quality Italian immersion educational experience.
- To serve the entire community by offering Italian enrichment classes.
