 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. "

John Norman

 
  "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."
