Dante Alighieri Society of Washington:
In 1984, the Italian Language Program was successfully initiated in Seattle under the directorship of the local chapter of the Dante Alighieri Society. Since that year, the Italian Language Program of the Dante Alighieri Society of Washington has grown as the ideal place to learn Italian Language and Culture in Seattle. Our classes are held on the campus of Seattle University. However, the Dante Alighieri Society - Italian Language Program is a self-sustaining autonomous program independent of Seattle University.
Our Italian school in Seattle offers every Fall, Winter, and Spring quarter, four levels of Italian: introductory conversation, elementary, intermediate, and advanced. The school year extends from late September or early October to June with a class break every 10 weeks. Each course begins in the fall and lasts 30 weeks (three quarters) except the introductory conversation course which is 10 weeks long and repeats. Classes meet twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays evenings except the introduction to Italian course which meets on Tuesdays only.
Additional Italian Programs:
Introduction to Italian; Italian for Travellers; Italian for Children.
