History
Established in 2017.
La Piazza Italian School is an Italian Language and Culture School founded by a native Italian teacher, that is also a mother of bilingual children, who felt the necessity to bring her Italian experience into the American reality.
Our mission is to provide our students a real, rich and full Italian experience while acquiring knowledge of the language. We believe that this is possible by including in the instructional dialogue also the geography of Italy and its immense historical, artistic, musical, and literary culture.
La Piazza Italian School offers group classes, private instruction, and semiprivate tutoring to students of all ages and all levels.

After graduating in Classical Studies she studied Foreigner Languages and Literatures at Roma Tre University, in Rome, and at the University of International Studies of Rome, Faculty of Interpreting and Translation.
Michaela Opolka Cappellari has international experience in teaching languages (Ireland, Canada, USA). When she moved to the USA in 2012 she begun to think of opening a school where she could bring her expertise and experience to the community she is proudly part of today.
La Piazza Italian School opens in 2017 with the mission to bring a genuine Italian cultural experience to New Jersey, that is well known for its Italian descendants, so to strengthen the Italian legacy in the community and to keep it alive for generations to come.
