LANGUAGE SCHOOL SERVICES

The school offers many services to its students. In addition to the two most important services, accommodation and activities, which are described on other pages, here you can find all the assistance services we offer.

USE OF THE SCHOOL PREMISES

Students can use rooms when they are not being used for class purposes from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM for studying, watching movies etc.

STUDY VISA

Students from countries which are not members of the EU and who intend to stay in Italy longer than three months, need a Study Visa issued by the Italian embassy in their own country. To obtain the study visa they need the certificate of enrollment from our school as well as other documents requested by the embassy. The necessary documentation is sent to those who have enrolled as soon as the school receives the deposit and confirms the student’s enrollment. In any case we advice students to enquire about bureaucratic procedures at their embassies before they make reservations and come to Italy, as laws and regulations vary considerably from country to country.

HEALTH INSURANCE

Students from non-EU countries are requested to take out a private health insurance for six months or one year. We advice our students to enquire about it at their Italian embassies. European students can apply to their private or public health insurance for the E111 form.
