About the Program

Welcome to the Co.As.It. 2010 Out of School Hours Italian Language and Culture Program.

Immerse your children in Italian language and culture through our Out-of-School Hours program designed for children of both Italian and non-Italian background. Courses are available at all levels and are suitable for absolute beginners to advanced learners.

Benefit from Co.As.It. teachers approved to teach by the Department of Education - Community Languages Program. Each teacher follows an Out of School Hours Teaching program developed by Co.As.It. in conjunction with the K-12 Italian Syllabus of the NSW Board of Studies.

The program is partially funded by the Department of Education - Community Languages and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ministero degli Affari Esteri).
