ATTIVITÁ

During your study stay for your  Italian language courses, we offers a scheduled program of free extra-curricular activities which are inclusi in the price of the course. These activities may include, but are not limited to films, games, and seminars. Our weekly seminars cover a variety of subjects from Italian literature and poetry to Sicilian-specific subjects including history, politics, cuisine, etc. ( download a sample of a social activity programme )



In addition to our complimentary extra-curricular activities, our  Italian language school also offers paid guided excursions, usually every other weekend or occasionally in the afternoons.  Generally our excursions take students to places which are not included in the excursions most travel agencies offer, however we are flexibile to deliver programs desired by our students. We try to occasionally take students to the truly special places off the beaten track, the places known more by “locals” than by tour buses and travel agencies. Students can very easily go to the main sites with the escursioni organized by the many travel agencies located in Taormina. During your study stay at our school in Taormina, we also offers many social activities, such as dinners, theatre performances and concerts organized both by the school and occasionally by the students themselves.



Our office is the centrale core of activity for our school. All class registrations, accommodations, extra-curricular activities, etc. are coordinated from this central point. At the beginning of each major school session (listed in the course schedule) there is a general introduction to the school, Taormina and an update and explanation of points of interest and local activities. The school office can also facilitate in making connections for various excursions, agencies, appointments, and activities as desired.
