High School tutoring and AP Prep
Italian School NJ has many highly qualified instructors, some of whom currently teach or have taught at the high school (public and private) and College level, that can assist with Italian courses or AP Italian exam.
Whether you may need help in getting a better overall grade, or assistance for an upcoming test, or reviewing a specific subject that may seem hard to understand, we can help. Italian School NJ takes a particularly spherical approach to instruction, which allows students a unique opportunity to engage in every aspect of the Italian language.

Online Summer Programs
Please note that we don’t offer online classes or lessons for pre-k students. In order to attend an online class or lesson children should have completed at least a semester of regular kindergarten.
We don’t believe that teaching Italian to children too young through online lesson is effective or beneficial to the children. We do welcome children 3 years old and up to our school for in person classes that are extremely engaging, fun and effective.
