How the semester works
You join your level group (six CEFR levels, groups of 4-12, courses start every Monday) and study Italian every morning with native teachers. The Standard formula is 20 lessons a week; the Light formula is 10 lessons a week plus structured guided study - same certification path, more time for the city. A 3-month semester costs €1.325 (Light) or €1.995 (Standard); full tables on the long-term page.
Good to know
Visa or visa-free
Up to 90 days, U.S. citizens travel visa-free. For a full semester over 90 days you apply for the Type D study visa - our courses qualify and we prepare every document. See visa support.
Credits for your transcript
Through our faculty-led and semester programs - and our U.S. university partners - credits can be ready for your home transcript. Coming with your university? See faculty-led programs.
Housing included in the plan
Campus residence in Florence and Mantua, homestays and shared apartments everywhere. One school handles course, housing and paperwork.
