Italian Classes for Adults
At Italian School NJ, conversation skills are a priority for both our staff and our students.
Having encountered many adult students who were frustrated with their lack of fluency after years of study, we devised a curriculum that gives priority to conversation, while concomitantly enhancing the conceptual understanding of the language through a thorough explanation of the grammatical structures.
Our goal is to create an encouraging environment to learn the Italian language by providing small classroom sizes (7-8 students at the most) and individual attention to all students.

Online & In-person options
ISNJ offers in-person and online options. In person classes are held at our East Hanover location, 49 Ridgedale Avenue, East Hanover, NJ.
All classes are conducted mainly in Italian, in accordance with our full-immersion philosophy, with the exception of some beginner courses. Each class is structured around the integration of texts and supplementary materials (i.e. handouts, videos, etc..) handpicked to create an equilibrium between verbal and written fluency, while simultaneously using in-class conversation, role playing, and other games to increase practical expression. Student-to-student interaction and repetition are paramount in creating an environment that both encourages and enhances verbal skill, and we put a premium upon ensuring that each student reaches both the benchmarks set forth by our curriculum, as well as their own personal goals.
ISNJ offers three main semesters: Fall (mid September-end of February) Late Fall (mid-November-April) and Spring (immediately following after the Fall semester until the end of May). Classes may also start anytime once we receive a minimum of 4 students registered for the same time and day.
Ongoing and forming classes available. Forming classes will start anytime once we receive a minimum of 4 students requesting the same time and day. Ongoing classes can be joined anytime. Placement for ongoing classes for new students with prior Italian language knowledge is based on teacher’s approval upon completion of an entrance exam. If the class is already started tuition may be pro-rated.
