IH Sicily does not hold classes on the holiday dates below. The school does not compensate for these holidays, so make sure to choose your start date accordingly.
IH Sicily is a group of schools which operates on the beautiful island of Sicily, in the South of Italy. IH Palermo and IH Catania are fully qualified centres that offer Italian language courses both for individuals or groups.
We offer General Italian courses, exam preparation, work experience, scuba diving and cookery lessons.
The schools are both located in the heart of the city centre. The school's excellent locations mean you are never more than a short walk away from all the major attractions in Palermo and Catania.
The wonderful sea landscape, the great warm-heartedness of its inhabitants, the rich and unique culture, its archeological and ancient sites, the active volcanoes such as Mount Etna and a Mediterranean climate, makes it an ideal place to be at any time of the year.
I enjoyed my course at International House in Sicily. The location was very nice.
The course was good and thorough. My teacher Benedetta was very knowledgeable and inspiring.
And she was nice and friendly.
I would have liked more conversation and pronunciation exercises because this is the hardest part and you could benefit more from this, being in the country itself.
I spent one week classes to the international school. The welcoming was ok. The location is perfect and the facilities are great in the school.
I really wanted to speak as much as possible. Even if the teacher was really nice, we spent one week to analyse the differences between two tenses that I perfectly understood before coming. I feel that we could have talked more and about more practical subjects. I don't think that talking about religion is necessary at such a low level. I know that my frustration comes from my job as I am a French teacher for foreigners so I deal very well with the grammar. Some days I replay felt that I was loosing my time and money.
I have still appreciated to go there everyday and I would probably come back to the school in a future trip to Palermo but I guess, an individual teacher would have worked better for me.
