LA SCUOLA ITALIANA - ADULT Italian Language Program

WINTER 2022 REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

We are excited to be offering Adult Italian Language classes once again this winter via Zoom.  If you have taken one of our classes before, you will be able to continue on with your learning with our amazing and enthusiastic instructor Marianna.  We welcome NEW students to our program!

Like many of us, this pandemic has left us craving the need to travel and if travel to Italy is in your plan for this spring or next summer this is the perfect time to take one or two of our sessions. 

New this winter, we will be offering Italian Language for Travellers.  As travel begins to open up, we have had many requests to offer a Traveller's Italian Language course. This class will augment our regular classes well and will fill up fast as space is limited. 

Mark your calendars “e parliamo italiano”!!!!!!!
