Our Mission

iipamiami

I.I.P.A. (Italian International Parents Association) is a non-profit organization based in Miami, Florida, founded in 2009 by a passionate group of parents whose children were enrolled in the Magnet program at G.W. Carver Middle School. Since then, I.I.P.A. has grown and now supports Italian language and culture in several Miami-Dade County public schools, including the renowned Magnet high school, International Studies Preparatory Academy (I.S.P.A.), where a robust Italian language and culture program thrives.

Recently International Studies Charter School (ISCHS) has joined us !!! And the Maritime and Science Technology Academy (M.A.S.T.) is also interested. Teaches and students thinking and behave as citizens of the world, has joined I.I.P.A. in planning activities to support its Italian program.

We are committed to enriching the educational experience of students with our shared Italian heritage.

We understand the importance of preserving Italian culture and language as a valuable intangible cultural heritage for humanity. This is why, despite challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, we remain determined to carry out our mission and continue growing. Our work is driven by the dedication of Italian teachers and families, as we strive to support and represent the Italian language and culture community in Miami-Dade.

Our Mission

iipamiami

I.I.P.A., our mission is to promote and support the teaching of Italian language and culture in local public schools. We organize a variety of initiatives and cultural events that provide students and families with enriching experiences that deepen their appreciation for Italian heritage. Our events, such as Pranzo Italiano, Lasagna Day, Festa della Befana, Carnevale, cooking classes, and Italian cinema nights, are just a few examples of how we share the richness of Italy’s traditions.

We are particularly focused on expanding the curriculum to include Italian culture, history, and literature; collaborating with Italian language teachers to provide them with essential learning materials such as books, multimedia resources, and technology to enhance the educational experience; and creating cultural events that invite the broader community to engage and celebrate Italian heritage. Additionally, we strive to connect students with Italian authors, artists, and other cultural representatives, providing opportunities for them to engage directly with these figures and gain deeper insights into Italy’s cultural and intellectual legacy.
