School description

The Idea Verona Study Centre is the first school of Italian language and culture born in the magical city of Romeo and Juliet.

Our teachers are all qualified, experienced and constantly updated on methodologies for teaching Italian L2. All come from diverse training backgrounds and professional experiences to ensure the group's continuous enrichment and allow the school to offer a vast educational opportunity.

Since opening in 1998, the unique teaching method and personal relationships that develop between teacher and pupil have enabled the school to grow, thanks to our former students. In fact, word of mouth has always been the advertising we prefer because relationships are what gives value to life.

The school was born in Verona to firstly meet the demand of tour operators who wanted to master the secrets of the province and learn the Italian language in order to carry out their work in the Veneto region. We always attend to the needs of the market and facilitate meetings between our clients and the city's institutions (associations and events) where the most enterprising students can take part in volunteer activities. The friendly atmosphere of the school and the relationships the students make help them quickly learn the Italian language.

The Idea Verona Study Centre also participates in study abroad programmes in European secondary schools and universities overseas. We are always up to the standards of great partners and this improves our standards for all of our future students.
