I have been taking Italian language classes at ICS for seven years. The programs and teachers are excellent. The Society offers a wide range of language and cultural programs in a congenial setting. I highly recommend ICS to anyone who has an interest in Italian language and culture.

I have been taking classes at the Italian Language Program for over 7 years and have had a wonderful experience. The Program is well-run, the facilities are nice, and the atmosphere is friendly. What I appreciate most is my teacher, Cristiana Fabiani, with whom I have had classes for the entire 7+ years, starting from the Beginning level (I literally started with zero knowledge of Italian) to now where we are reading books (including one by an Italian Nobel Prize winner). Cristiana is a great teacher; she is very patient and encouraging, and has the best classroom management skills. She tries to ensure that everyone in the class has a chance to speak, and encourages those who are reticent to speak up. Thanks to Cristiana, not only am I reading Italian literature (it is still a lot of work for me!) but I have gained enough listening comprehension and speaking skills that I feel I can function in Italian (with mistakes and gaps in vocabulary, of course). All in all, the Italian Language Program has really worked well for me and I fully recommend it!

The Italian Cultural Language Program is terrific! Great teachers, with in person and online classes at all levels.

Excellent instructors, high quality learning material, conducive to a good learning environment.

Founded in 1953, but released from the Italian Governments support in 2013, the ICS has thrived growing in classes offered and activities. (The market does work, Adam Smith.) A superior place to learn Italian, as Mortimer Adams says, the language of love.

Great Italian classes for children!

A lot of language classes.

Authentic Italian environment
