 ABOUT US  
  "I can't say enough about my wonderful experience with The Italian School. Never yet have I found a school that truly offered such personalized instruction. My private teacher quickly understood what my goals were and organized perfect exercises for me. The excursion that the school took was also fun and informative. I received more than I was hoping for from The Italian School; I will definitely take lessons there again, and I highly recommend them to others! "

"...Questo corso mi ha aiutato a diventare bravo con la lingua e a vivere esperienze normali per una persona che abita in Italia. La struttura del corso basata sul lavoro di un insegnate con un unico studente è molto utile per apprendere la grammatica e per parlare con facilità. Mi sento preparato per il secondo anno degli studi teologici all' Università Gregoriana. "

  "I spent two summers in Verbania studying Italian at the Italian School at Il Chiostro. Both summers were great opportunities to learn and improve my Italian. As a student in an Italian university for the next few years, I find the format of the program of one-on-one instruction appropriate for those who have some background knowledge of Italian and want to improve their skills..."

  "La mia esperienza alla Italian School a Verbania è stata meravigliosa. Le insegnanti sono molto brave e il programma è molto conveniente perché loro vengono al Hotel Il Chiostro. In generale, ho migliorato la mia conoscenza della grammatica italiana e la mia capacità per conversazione. Ci sono molte opportunità per escursioni con la Scuola per vedere la zona, in particolare i sacri monti vicini al Intra. Pertanto, raccomando questa scuola di lingua a tutti coloro che vogliono portare il loro italiano a un livello superiore."

As in previous years, il Chiostro is offering courses in the Italian language to students of English linguistic background.

The programme is geared to adults who need to learn Italian quickly and intensively and in particular to students of the North American College, who come to Italy to attend University. The programme is also open to students of other ecclesiastical colleges and institutions.

The courses will be taught by qualified teachers who combine their Italian background and teaching experience with a thorough acquaintance with the American and British cultures.

The language programme will run all year round, and upon request all year round with courses of five, four, or three weeks. The format of each course will be that of private tutoring, and it will never have more than two students. Deadline for application is 30 days before the beginning of the courses.

Some leasure activities will be added to the program this coming summer,too. For example, visits to local places of interest will be organized by Il Chiostro with Italian speaking guides.

The school will provide assistance to the students who are interested in obtaining a language Certificate from the “Università per Stranieri “ in Perugia or in Siena.

The Certification is a document issued by an accredited language school, after students have taken a test geared to six levels, from elementary to advanced. It is a kind of equivalence certificate granted to courses taken privately. The Certification is entirely voluntary and involves payment of a fee. It is recognized internationally both at the business and at the academic levels.
