Study in Italy

Mission

The Study in Italy mission is to teach American English and culture using a communicative, conversation-based approach. Our philosophy is Ridendo s'impara, that is, learn while you're laughing. Classes are small and offer students the maximum opportunity to speak. Lessons are complemented by an offering of cultural opportunities: lectures, films, exhibits and parties.

Study in Italy aims to offer an enjoyable and enriching educational experience.
