Memorandum of Understanding between M-DCPS and the government of Italy has been in effect since 2005, and has taught Italian to approximately 1,000 of our students. This renewal provides M-DCPS students with the opportunity to become literate in both English and Italian. They also can pursue an academic curriculum with an international focus that addresses rigorous standards of both U.S. and European Union educational systems. Three M-DCPS schools offer an Italian dual language program: George Washington Carver Elementary, George Washington Carver Middle, and International Studies Preparatory Academy.
