Iace programs are designed to teach Italian language and culture through age-appropriate curricula.

• Pre-K courses, targeted to children from ages 18 months to 4 years, are inspired by the Reggio Emilia Teaching Approach.
• K-12 courses are based on the Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century.
• Adult courses will expose the students to a variety of cultural activities to improve their understanding of the "Dolce Vita" style.

IACE, in all of its courses, encourages the development of programs  that integrate  particular content  (Opera, Theater, Arts, History, Science, Cuisine, etc.) with language teaching aims.
