Your journey at La Scuola starts here
We are thrilled to welcome you to La Scuola, a community of learners that values academic excellence, creativity, and a passion for lifelong learning. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
At La Scuola, we believe that education is a partnership between the school and the family, and we are committed to keeping you informed and involved in your child's education. We encourage you to take an active role in your child's learning journey and to partner with us to help your child reach their full potential.
If you are interested in enrolling your child at La Scuola, we invite you to start the admission process by scheduling a tour of our campus, meeting with our admissions team, and learning more about our programs and curriculum. We look forward to getting to know you and your family and to welcoming you to our community.
Welcome from our Head of School, Dr Michael Cascianelli
Welcome to La Scuola d’Italia. As the Head of School, I am excited to greet you and introduce you to our unique bilingual learning environment, set in the heart of New York City.
With 30 nationalities represented, La Scuola d’Italia is the only Italian-American School in North America, offering a seamless educational journey from PreK 3 to Grade 12. We are dedicated to helping students become principled and open-minded leaders of tomorrow while fostering a deep understanding and appreciation of global cultures within our Italian-American-rooted values.
Our location on the Upper East Side of Manhattan allows us to offer a rich and engaging experience to all. I warmly invite you to visit our campus and meet our exceptional faculty and staff, who are here to support and guide you.
