The Embassy is supported by its Education Office in order to monitor and coordinate the promotion of Italian throughout the United States. Every Consulate has an Office that coordinates promotional activities in the schools falling under its jurisdiction. The Education Offices work in collaboration with Enti Gestori, non profit organizations that receive financial contributions by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to create and manage Italian language courses in the schools.
In the Washington, Dc area the School Office supports the Italian language classes for the children of Italians residing in the area, and promotes Italian language classes in the schools of the Metropolitan Washington, DC area. The actions of promotion of Italian in the Washington, DC area are carried out in collaboration with Casa Italiana a not for profit agency.
