Scuola Marco Polo is a non-profit school for children established in 2000 created in response to the need of Italian citizens and residents in the Tri-State area (PA, NJ, and DE) to pass on the Italian culture and language to their families and kids. Our goal is to educate families and students on the importance of Italian language, traditions, music, and culture to create a strong community to celebrate Italian and American holidays with family through Scuola Marco Polo. The Italian Cultural Center “Marco Polo” offers Italian classes to children ages 3 to 11 in the city of Philadelphia. The school started in 2000 as a need of Italian families in the Greater Philadelphia Area. Classes meet two hours a week and cover Italian language and grammar, as well as Culinary Arts, Music, Writing & Reading, and Visual Arts. We also organize several events for our families to enhance the understanding and knowledge of Italian language, culture and tradition.
