Located in a historic townhouse on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, La Scuola d’Italia Guglielmo Marconi provides a bilingual educational journey from preschool through high school. The school is the only institution in North America to hold "Scuola Paritaria" status, meaning it is fully accredited by the Italian Ministry of Education and offers an authentic Italian curriculum. Students in the High School division, or Liceo Scientifico, can pursue the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, graduating with dual certifications recognized by universities worldwide. Notable for its deep cultural roots, the school organizes annual traditions like Carnevale and student choir performances for Festa della Repubblica. Facilities include an art studio and science labs, with physical education held at the nearby Fastbreak sports center. This model prepares students for international higher education, blending the intellectual heritage of Italy with the local resources of New York City.
