Students have a unique chance to develop their language skills by actively learning about our culture and heritage. This programme blends English language tuition with culture-related project work on a theme of your choice.

English for the Workplace

Our Business English course for Junior students (also PCTO* certifiable for Italian schools) is highly practical. In addition to lessons, workshops and talks by guest speakers help bring the subject matter to life.

Storytelling & Theatre

Our creative programmes not only help with language learning but also help students to become effective communicators. Students explore the plot and characters of a popular story and learn how to use their voice and body to bring it to life, working towards a final class performance.
