Group courses

During grammar lessons new structures are presented, drilled and reinforced, with reading, doing exercises and writing compositions.
Teachers bring in materials of their choice, to be used in addition to exercises and drills contained in the school textbook.
During conversation sessions teachers put current topics forward with CDs, written materials, group activities, vocabulary building, dialogues, commentaries, thus encouraging learners to take part in discussions and make their own contributions.
Language workshop lessons are a combination of applied grammar and conversation where role plays and class games are used to simulate daily situations, in which relevant vocabulary is constantly presented and practiced.

Combined Courses

These courses have been devised for those who wish to obtain the most from their short stay in Italy. In addition to classes, tailor-made one-to-one lessons are available, giving students the chance to deepen their grammatical knowledge and to enhance their awareness of the Italian language and culture. As learners themselves are encouraged to suggest the contents of their individual lessons, one-to-one hours can be used to tackle or review specific grammar points, to discuss and deepen cultural topics, etc.

One-to-one lessons 

The school offers a choice of one-to-one tutorials in Italian language and on a number of topics and subjects, such as Architecture, Art history, Fashion, Business Italian, Italian Cooking and wines, Drawing, Painting, Literature, and so on. On request, the school also organizes lessons for couples. In both cases tutorials can be held any time from Monday to Saturday.
Students arrange timetable and contents of tutorials together with the school administrative and teaching staff.

Study Visa

Students from countries which are not members of the EU and who intend to stay in Italy longer than three months, need a Study Visa issued by the Italian embassy in their own country. To obtain the study visa they need the certificate of enrollment from our school as well as other documents requested by the embassy. The necessary documentation is sent to those who have enrolled as soon as the school receives the deposit and confirms the student’s enrollment. In any case we advice students to enquire about bureaucratic procedures at their embassies before they make reservations and come to Italy, as laws and regulations vary considerably from country to country.

Health insurance

Students from non-EU countries are requested to take out a private health insurance for six months or one year. We advice our students to enquire about it at their Italian embassies. European students can apply to their private or public health insurance for the E111 form.
