Benvenuto a l’italiano a Greenwich!

At Greenwich Public School students study Italian. The Italian program is a parent funded program and is designed to give students an introduction to the Italian language, history, traditions and culture. This is done through a variety of means, such as songs, stories, games, role plays and exercises, both oral and written.

The benefits of learning a language at a young age include: cognitive benefits, better listening skills, improved memory, as well as an appreciation of differing cultural perspectives and practices. Italian supports the ‘Cultures’ component of the HSIE Key Learning Area.
