ISTITUTO ITALIANO SCUOLA (IIS) is a non-profit organization whose goal is to promote and spread the knowledge of Italian language and culture. IIS is the only school affiliated with the San Francisco Italian Cultural Institute and offers Italian language courses for every level, from absolute beginner to highly advanced.

Instructors are all native Italian speakers with degrees form Italian universities. We use a total immersion method that is fun and effective. Our classes are taught entirely in Italian.

We offer a large number of classes, which ensures convenient times and small class sizes (minimum five students, maximum twelve).
