La Scuola is a great school, a wonderful and warm community of families and an encouraging learning environment with excellent teachers. Our kids have loved going to school every day and feel at home both in the U.S. and in Europe. La Scuola has given them a great, international education making them fully fluent in both English and Italian, with many classmates speaking a third language as well. Our kids have also learned to be kind and to take care of each other, which has been invaluable. We are very grateful to La Scuola for giving our kids and our family a second home.

Our son was at La Scuola for years. It has been a good experience after all, nice community and interesting bilingual program. For middle school we were looking for a different experience and a bigger school.

School is very overpriced for dirty conditions, no cafeteria, bad teachers, etc. This school does not at all assist kids in preparation for the real world, and has almost no diversity at all. If you are thinking of being enrolled past the ages of elementary school, I would not recommend it.

La Scuola d'Italia is an excellent educational Institution. I am an Educator and I would consider it a hidden jem in New York City.
