"Une expérience intéressante et fort agréable"

Jean-Pascal Hanss, student from France

École dans un cadre agréable, bien située dans Salerne . Accueil du personnel très chaleureux et efficace. Excursion et cours de cuisine proposés au cours des deux semaines . Cours particulier pour moi, collectif pour la personne qui m’accompagnait. La professeure (la même dans les deux cas) s’est révélée efficace et extrêmement chaleureuse (en outre elle s’est arrangée pour accommoder au mieux les horaires de cours). Une belle rencontre!

"Great location and great teachers."

Justin Malbon, student from Australia

The class was suitably small, with three students. This allowed the right level of interaction and attention by the teacher. The school’s location is central and easy to get to. The classrooms are light and airy. The teacher was first rate. I felt I learnt a lot in a relatively short time. It has set me up well for further advancing my Italian.

"Wonderful people, wonderful city."

julie turcotte, student from Canada

This experience was great. The classroom was a piece of art. The teacher was really efficient and super friendly. The location of the school is simply dreamy. The housing was amazing.
As you can see we loved our experience. The only negative side was that it was not possible for us the contact our housing host before getting there. Since I am traveling with a 11 year old daughter, I was a little scared by that.
No worries once we got there, though. My troubles were gone.
But still not being able to speak to her before did stress me a bit.
Over all, the best experience of my life.

"Is there a beach near by? Will the girl be by herself in the family or with other students? Can you send us some information on potential host families for the girl (14) - as again the family would like to know more before finalizing the booking. How would she get from home to the school, is it walking distance? Does the school organize any extra activities on the weekends?"

We usually place one student per family but if she prefer we can place two students in the same family.
We have a young lady who host also a Spanish student. She lives in the town center very cose to the school. We have also another lady who lives with a dughetr and a son in a very nice flat close to school.

"Unfortunately, the student find it very expensive to live in Salerno. So, she will only be able to study 2 times per week for the year. This, as far as I know, is not enough for obtaining a long-stay visa, correct?"

Dyan Test, student from USA
Rosa Maria Riccelli, Accademia Leonardo school representative

You are right, it is not enough to have Visa.
