Academics
Language teaching is given in a context of culture and

the degree of knowledge of Italian, a brief complete oral
test and an initial evaluation.
Activities
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

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.
