The school is located in the heart of the city, between via Nazionale and the Coliseum, just a few steps from the legendary Trevi Fountain and the eternal Roman Forum. The school is on the first floor of a 19th century building. There are 5 classrooms each with a table and chairs, a whiteboard and a tape recorder. There is a small multimedia lab with free internet connection, a spacious administrative area, the Director’s office, 2 toilets and a small garden terrace.

The school helps the students to settle into apartments with other Italian students, or in apartments where the owners provide a room with bathroom and use of the kitchen.

Language teaching is given in a context of culture and history with the purpose of favoring the knowledge of Rome and Italy in its popular, artistic, historical and traditional manifestations. Didactic units are planned adopting modern methodologies of direct education and being based on the language as a communication instrument. There is a limited number of students by class (maximum 8). First of all, the students take a test to establish the degree of knowledge of Italian, a brief complete oral test and an initial evaluation.

Students can make two activities per week: a guided visit through the city and the projection of an Italian film. Both activities contribute outside the class to activate the ability to understand the language and expression. By that invites the students to take advantage of them and to request the book list of reading and the videos. The school also promotes exchange of conversation, celebrations and conferences and in the summer months invites the students to participate outdoors during the day.
