Each level follows its own program which gradually leads the student to a detailed knowledge of the grammatical structures and syntax of the language. Correct pronunciation is developed by exercises and phonetics under the guidance of specialist teachers. Siena is a Tuscan town far removed from the frenzied pace of Italy's larger cities. She has guarded her art treasures in an atmosphere typical of the renaissance and is near Florence and other great art centers. The school offers language and cultural courses and housing with families, hotels or pensiones.
New classes begin each month.
