All in-house students are entitled to subscribe to our weekly activity programme.
Some of the activities are for free and some require a contribution to costs!
The weekly cultural programme offers plenty of opportunities to immerse in Italian culture and Italian lifestyle. Cinema evenings with Italian movies, private concerts of classical music at school, motorboat excursions to discover unspoilt white sandy beaches with deep blue crystal clear water as well as trips to the Aeolian Islands and a great variety of cultural excursions in Calabria, to Sicily or Campania top our school’s diversified extracurricular programme. Also, seminars on Italian culture and Italian customs are an integral part of the cultural programme.
As a language course add-on we also offer effective workshops for oral and written communication!
