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.

Four classes are offered every Fall, Winter and Spring at four levels: introductory, elementary, intermediate and advanced. Additional classes may be scheduled as needed.

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.
