La Scuola d'Italia Galileo Galilei is a non profit 501(c)3 public charity organization, which was established in 2014 with the goal of creating a K-12 Bilingual International Italian Language School in Pittsburgh, PA and Cultural Association. Our mission is to promote and to preserve the study and the spread of Italian art, culture, history, and language through academic instruction, research, and extracurricular opportunities for personal enrichment and exploration in the Pittsburgh area and throughout the United States.

Our Goal is to offer a wide array of interactive, fun, and fully immersive educational programs, additional language programs, and social activities that focus on the Italian language and the art, the culture, and the history of Italy, as well as studying other languages and cultures. We aim to serve all individuals living in the United States, by offering courses to all who have an interest in learning or maintaining the richness and the beauty of the Italian language and culture for themselves and their children or other languages as well. We are providing an Italian Program with the same curriculum used in Italy following Montessori and Reggio Emilia as well as Campi d’Esperienza “Fields of Experience”. Each year, we offer many new and exciting programs in Italian, including a summer camp for children, an Early Learning Center, daycare, preschool throughout the year.

We plan to open and expand our school in a new building in the near future that will allow us to continue our past programming, expand into an Elementary and Middle School, as well as increase and create new programming, offering a social and safe environment for everyone, and a new larger location to accommodate all of the school's educational needs, programming, and to offer a safe place for all to celebrate our history, heritage, and welcome everyone from the community to learn more about Italian Americans in Pittsburgh, and to not forget our Italian history, culture, and heritage. 

Through these activities we hope to regain a lost culture in the Pittsburgh area and other areas throughout the United States and to offer something unique and wonderful to the community.
