Our courses are tailored to the linguistic and cultural needs of students.
Grammar is learned through the use of authentic, real-life teaching materials: menus, songs, TV news, magazines and newspapers, games and role playing.
Our teachers are all University graduates, specialized in teaching Italian L2 / LS and love to teach non-natives.
Great free leisure programs such as guided tours of the center, environmental excursions that explore plant/wildlife alongside the Castellano river, visits to wineries & vineyards for tastings of excellent whites (Pecorino, Passerina) and reds (Rosso Piceno, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo) also olive oil productions.
The school also organizes aperitifs, dinners, theatre evenings together and great trips to other cities around the Marche Region and Rome, all at cost price.
It was a very pleasant stay. The lessons were interesting and lively. I learned a lot both about the language and about the city and surroundings of Ascoli. The teachers were all kind and loving. Also I got a lot of help with all the questions I had. I would like to redo a course at this school because everything was perfect for me !! Thanks to all the teachers :-)

There were approximately five students in each class and lessons were planned according to ability and interests.
There was always a good rapport between us and the teachers who were enabling and encouraged participation of each student.
There was an emphasis on introducing us to the Italian culture something we were particularly interested in. This was not only by learning about the Italian history but also about the food. We also enjoyed being able to attend concerts in Ascoli.
Ascoli Piceno is a beautiful town, there are not only usually cultural events taking place but one of my favourite things is to sit and partake in an aperitivo whilst “people watching”. There is a variety of good restaurants where we were introduced to local specialities of food and wine which we very much appreciate.
The proximity to San Benedetto means there is easy access the beach and local restaurants.
All in all for me the combination of the Accademia Italiana and Ascoli Piceno provides the perfect destination for the perfect holiday whilst enabling me to practice the Italian language.
We started attended Italian classes in Ascoli every September since 2015.
