Weekend Classes 2025-26

In-Person - Every other Saturday, 1 PM - 3 PM

1542 NW 14th Ave, Portland, OR 97209

Ages 3 - 6 Class

Location: Preschool Room
Teacher: Antoinetta Benigno

Our youngest students explore new languages through play, song and engaging projects. We keep things familiar and comfortable during class so that children gradually come to embrace the new language. Children are also encouraged to play and interact with one another in Italian. Over time, children are able to reproduce the language spontaneously.

Ages 7 - 11 Class

Location: Quimby Room
Teacher: Tamara Robson

This program is flexible and tailored to fit the age and skill level of the student. Students build their language skills as they move through fun, thematic units. New vocabulary and grammar are introduced across several themes: family, self-image, home, sports and hobbies, and nature. By using practical topics as a means for learning the language, kids gain core language skills and vocabulary that is relevant to their own lives and that they are excited to use outside of the classroom!
