italian language in italy : Exploring and learning the language of love and romance

While Italian has long been acknowledged as an important language for college and university students in the study of literature, music, theatre, history and much more, it has also in our times become increasingly useful in planning careers in professions related to Italy's influential role in today's global community.

Italy can justifiably boast of possessing one of the world's top economies and is a leading member of the G8 group of the wealthiest democracies on the planet. Not surprising that American, Canadian and other world-wide multi-national companies have offices in Italy.

All this to illustrate that multilingual candidates are in increasingly higher demand by employers world-wide.
Closer to home
Laval's Laurier Senior High School, of the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board, is extending a unique educational opportunity to its students to study the Italian language.
Although the school did offer Italian in the 1970s when it was known as Laval Catholic High School, it has been more than 25 years since the opportunity to learn italian language other than French or English was last offered to the student clientele.

In this latest revival of the teaching and learning of Italian, classes will focus on a comprehensive approach that will enable students to read, write, and speak the language while simultaneously gaining knowledge of Italian culture and history.
