Ciao everyone,I need advice on

I've been on here a while and never seen much, if anything, on schools in Italy. However I have read many a post on other forum(s). One in particular has a "Lorna at Vicenza" user who seems to know a great deal about the schools here Best of luck.

Hi miu2018,I wanted worry about it too much.My eldest son was the same age when we moved over. Never even spoke a word of Italian and now 6 years on he is in highschool and he is pretty much on parr with other students. I'm sure the school will help him out as well. I'm speaking as someone based in southern Italy where the communities are close knit, so may be a little different for example in larger cities.Children seem to adapt a lot easier than us adults. My advice is to not impose any stress on to him directly. We found that keeping on top of the teachers is the better way.Good Luck.

Hi,my son is 9 now and has Asperger's which made it a bit harder as he gets stressed easily BUT he's now been in his Italian school over a year and is almost fluent in Italian.   First few months are hardest, frustration can cause issues but if you, like us, find a good school with understanding and patient teachers I'm sure your son will be fine! We didn't but always an option to have some extra lessons outside school!likelihood is he will start a year down to get him up to speed language whys without stress of having to learn new things as well, then once language is up to speed they can slowly push him back up to where he should be. We are fortunate, our little town has an amazing school, small classes so three year groups in together which enables them to push my son gently ☺good luck, he will be fine x
