Morning lessons are held together with the other students, so that the Master Class participants can benefit the academic excellence we usually offer in our intensive standard program. Students are placed in classes according to their levels..
However, our teachers are aware of the specific needs of students of different ages, their different learning speeds, and their greater interest in the cultural aspects of Italian such as customs, festivals, history and literature.
The courses last for two weeks with 4 hours of general Italian a day and has a specific program of specially designed activities and excursions for the over 45s.
The course program includes a welcome drink, 20 lessons a week and a wide range of cultural activities for 5 days a week, including Italian cookery courses and wine testing sessions. Students can also participate in the workshops normally included in the standard course.
The cost of the course includes entrance to all museums, train tickets, dinner with a teacher, an half-day excursion and a full day trip. We are also happy to make reservations with great host families, student residence or private independent flats.
Scheduled Master Classes are in March, May, September and October (for groups of more than 6 people, arrangement possible all year round)
