Our courses are held in Pisa and Viareggio, two famous towns by the Tyrrhenian Sea, conveniently linked by rail and motorway to the most important towns such as Florence, Rome, Milan and Venice. Pisa has also the largest airport in Tuscany reached by all low cost flights companies.
The high level of teaching in our courses is guaranteed by the training and experience of our teachers. Moreover, our school is recognized by the Italian Ministry of Education, the Swedish CSN and is member of ASILS, the Association of Schools of Italian as a Second Language that guarantees the quality of the courses. CITY A university town of great historical and cultural interest, famous for its Leaning Tower and ancient sea republic, Pisa is distinguished by the youth of the population, its proximity to the sea, which can be reached by bus or bicycle, and excellent links with the whole of Italy and the world, given that the largest airport in Tuscany and a rail link of primary importance is there. In addition to the sea, there is also the nature reserve of Migliarino-Massaciuccoli-San Rossore, one of the largest and most interesting national parks in Italy. Pisa has an intense cultural life throughout the year, but the month of June is particularly rich in folkloric events: the famous Luminara is also held then.
