THE SCHOOL
Scuola Leonardo da Vinci boasts years of experience in teaching Italian as a second language.
Our school is located in Milan’s city center, just a few minutes away from the famous Duomo square and other important landmarks. Porta Romana is a University district: major Universities like Bocconi and Università Statale are only a 10-minute walk away, meaning that the area is dotted with vibrant restaurants, unique shops, and lively bars that create an enjoyable atmosphere for all students.
CLASSES
Our small classes (from 3 to 14 students) grant you fast improvement and plenty of chances to practice all linguistic abilities: reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary.
Our school’s friendly, multicultural atmosphere will capture you: you will meet students from all over the world who share your same goals and live a once-in-a-lifetime experience with like-minded people. Moreover, although we have students of all ages, the average age at a tour school is pretty low, around 20-23 years old.
Do you need more flexibility? Our Italian courses can also take place online on the Zoom platform: attend classes from anywhere!
TEACHING METHOD
All our teachers are native speakers with years of experience under their belt and our teaching method is based on the communicative approach: it doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, you will learn Italian by using it. Our lessons are fun and engaging and aim at motivating you and building your confidence – no space for boredom!

This is one of the best schools I have ever studied in! Their in-person program is spectacular, teachers go over any questions you have personally and make time for every student! Their online program is just as dedicated! I am an American who have studied in an American University online and I can say that no other school can provide such a personalized approach to education and without charging anything extra for any books or reading material! Professors are easy to get in-touch with if you have any questions, the administration department responds immediately over Whatsapp regarding any questions, and management is there to help you fix any other issues and respond within an hour!
