In our centre in Rome, a five-storied Liberty style villa, there are 11 classrooms (in addition to 15 others, in the two annexes situated 50m from the main building) The quality of the teaching and services provided by the school is guaranteed by its membership of EAQUALS (European Association for Quality Language Services), ELITE (Excellent Language Institutions Teaching in Europe), ALTO (Association of Language Travel Organisations), ASILS (Associazione Scuole d'Italiano come Lingua Seconda), and International House. The school has developed dynamic teaching methods and a stimulating Italian language programme that incorporates students' personal interests and various aspects of Italian life. We also operate as a teacher-training centre.

The school organises a full and varied programme of social activities for students (e.g. films, excursions, concerts, operas, guided tours, parties etc) The aim is to ensure that students have every opportunity to practise the language they are learning and at the same time to make friends and have fun. The teaching staff run the activities, making sure that any language or other difficulties are taken care of. A calendar of social events is given to each student on entry to the school. All activities except dinners, excursions and concerts are included in the enrolment fee.
