Italian High Schools

Portrait of young student?
Antonello da Messina (1473)

These 16 week courses (one semester) are for high school or college students wishing to learn Italian online with the guidance of a CyberItalian teacher who monitors and evaluates the student's practice every week. Depending on the school/student needs, these courses can also be tutored only by the school teacher.

Students get assignments and written homework corrections, complete audio lessons, receive personalized feedback and grades, take a midterm test and a final exam.

Testimonial: "Congratulations on the site. I am vice president of a training company in Alexandria, Virginia. I have been thinking a lot about distance learning and looking at a lot of examples. Yours is one of the best I've seen-easy to use, fun, and inviting. It is really inspiring to me as I try to see how our courses could be offered in a new way. Grazie, Sally"
