The
class groups are formed based upon the results of the entrance
test and upon the total number of students. In all the
courses - taking into consideration the characteristics of each
level - we aim for the same objective: to
make the student capable of understanding, speaking, reading and
writing the living language fluently; we obtain really
special results also with the beginners.
In order to reach these objectives we guarantee each student a special
individual attention (tutorial)
throughout the whole week and especially on Saturday morning.

We have studied a very varied and
balanced weekly dose between language lessons, conversation and
culture according to the needs of each level. All the courses
have 25 hours of lessons weekly. The courses for beginners and
pre-intermediates have 17 hours of language and conversation,
plus 4 hours of supplementary conversation and 4 hours of culture;
the courses for intermediates have 17 hours of language and conversation
and 8 of culture; the courses for advanced have 14 hours of language
and conversation and 11 of culture. The superior course has its
own specific programme, very rich in cultural subjects: 11 hours
of language and conversation and 14 hours of culture.
All the cultural subjects are included in the enrolment fees for
the courses and they are divided in curriculum and optional subjects.
The curriculum subjects (in the morning) are those which are designed
to give basic cultural knowledge to all the class group, and they
vary, naturally, from class to class; The optional subjects (in
the afternoon) are designed to carefully look into individual
interests and they can be attended by all who are interested.
In order to include them in the programme there must be at least
10 interested students.
