AbbeySchool CiaoItaly

AbbeySCHOOL CiaoItaly was born from the multicultural experience and professionalism of the staff of abbeySCHOOL, which has represented an excellent centre in the field of language teaching in Turin since 1996. Moreover, the school was awarded the UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 quality certification in 2007. The school, specializing in teaching the Italian language and culture to foreigners, guarantees the students a learning experience of the highest quality. The school organizes individual and group courses, as well as business courses. Groups will consist of a maximum of eight students in order to allow everyone to actively participate in the lessons. To give students a real taste of Torinese life, numerous extracurricular activities are foreseen. The lessons are entrusted to energetic and qualified native language teachers by means of direct pedagogic methods and the use of various teaching materials which help the students to improve their communicative and cultural skills.

Turin, with its 14 km of Porticos, is one of the most fascinating and mysterious cities in Italy. Its magic consists of its fusion of arts, history and vanguard. Under its layer of Savoyard rigour, there is a pulsating vivacity and vitality which not only amaze, but literally enchant the visitor: baroque buildings and futuristic architecture, antique art collections and international film exhibitions, the Egyptian Museum, which is the second most important in the world for its archaeological exhibits, and sports teams of global renown. The tradition of Italy's first capital lives on in the old cafés and restaurants in the city centre. A complex of industries and world class higher education institutions make Turin one of the most important technological and scientific centres in Italy. The winter Olympics of 2006 also brought Turin into the global spotlight.

Our standard courses of Italian language and culture are organized for all levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced) and are established according to the needs of students. They vary in both intensity and duration. The lessons are entrusted to energetic and qualified native language teachers by means of direct pedagogic methods and the use of various teaching materials (books, newspaper, cassettes, films, music, etc.) which help the students to improve their communicative and cultural skills.
