SCUOLA ITALIANA ENRICO FERMI

Scuola Italiana Enrico Fermi (Scuola Fermi, or SIEF) is Chicago’s first Italian-American bilingual preschool and kindergarten program. Founded in 2016 by a group of passionate Italian professional women, our school was born from a desire to blend Italy’s rich educational traditions with the best of American innovation. We follow an inquiry-based, Reggio Emilia-inspired approach that inspires children’s creativity and curiosity. Through full immersion in Italian language and culture, we nurture independent thinkers who are confident navigating a global, multicultural world.
