Italian Academy Language School358

My 3 yr old after this class has been able to identify objects bilingually. The classes are very small 6 parents in my group and It felt great to see how quickly my baby's learning italian and having fun at the same time.

My children have been enrolled since last fall.It is truly a real Italian School. The curriculum is ongoing and the children don't even realize the workload. They enjoy going over the material. They learn so they can play the games in class. The classes are small sized and the Teachers are so dedicated. At the end of a semester I bring my whole family to attend Viewing Day. My parents and I were impressed. The class had solo parts in Italian. Sang songs, and poems. Unbelievable, they are only 6 and WoW. They received a certificate signed by The Consulate of Manhattan, My husband and I are so proud. I recommend this school to any one at any age. I wish I would have known earlier.

My Daughter and her friend just completed the Italian Academy 3 week summer camp and they were thrilled. Every day the came home with different lessons with worksheets and books. They learned so much and were so enthusiastic to attend. I overheard my daughter one afternoon playing in my backyard with her brother the Italian games she played at camp, my mouth dropped. I am so pleased with this school. To have children come home happy and and on their own play the games they learned in Italian is FANTASTIC. She will be enrolling in the fall. Thank you Italian Academy.

I found that this program was not impressive at all. Very disorganized, my son learned very little but played a lot. It needs more structure, discipline and was not what I expected. Classes were not under control and the material was too repetitive and not age appropriate. I don't plan on enrolling him again.

...& Me was truly a wonderful experience; my two year old enjoyed the music and games and continues to sing the songs at home to my husband and his grandparents who are delighted to see their grandchild learning their language. The Italian Academy is filled with pretentious teachers and great experiences and I'm looking forward to September so that my child can continue to learn more about his culture and the Italian language.

...enrolled in one of the Italian Academy’s classes. The teachers use resources that are familiar to the children which aid their learning experience. I feel this is the best way to help them learn and understand the language at the same time. I would recommend this school to anyone who is interested in having their children learn the Italian language.

Wow, finally what a school, I have been looking for so long and finally here in our home of Staten Island. The curriculum is wonderful. So much material. I have two children 7 and 5 both are learning so much. They enjoy going to learn!! Their grandparents come in every session to watch on the Viewing Day. They put on their first play in ITALIAN!! We are going to Italy this summer and they are excited to finally be able to communicate with their cousins.

I enrolled my child for one session. My 2 year-old son always complained that the class was too "crazy". Children are not grouped according to age, so my son was in a class with 6 and 8 year-olds. I don't really think this is "age-appropriate" learing. Check alternatives around the city.
