Preschool and K-8 IB and Reggio Emilia inspired Italian Immersion International School At La Scuola children will be immersed in the Italian language and culture; we are inspired by the Reggio Emilia-inspired approach; and we use the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (IB-PYP) as the basis for the curriculum they are taught. This world-class education model is grounded in creative and critical thinking and is relevant to the global challenges of the 21st century. We strive to teach the whole child: mind, body and soul. We have a lively, warm and very diverse community of parents, with 16 languages spoken at the school and different family structures. Our parent body is from all over the world and includes a mix of lovers of bilingual education, Italian speakers, Italian-Americans, and lovers of Italian language and culture and the Reggio Emilia approach to learning. Children and parents do not need to know Italian to be at La Scuola.
