SCHOOL YEAR 2024-2025 | ENROLMENTS
Enrolments for the school year 2024-2025 are now open.
We would encourage you to register your child promptly to enable us to organise groups and best support your children’s learning journey.
Find the right course for your child
Designed for children attending primary schools (from Y1 to Y6), our courses are aimed at inspiring a love for the Italian language and culture.
Through fun and creative activities led by qualified teachers, children will have the chance to improve their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills.
Designed for Y7, Y8 and Y9 children.
Tailored to the needs and interests of pre-teens, these courses provide basic knowledge of the Italian language for beginners and would also benefit more fluent students by deepening their understanding of the Italian language and culture.
Ideally offered to Y10 and Y11 pupils, but open to Y9 as well, these courses are aimed at preparing students for Italian GCSE exams via a curriculum based on AQA, EDEXCEL or CAMBRIDGE IGCSE specifications. They also provide the opportunity to develop linguistic skills and to obtain a solid base ahead of studying A-LEVELs.
Please bear in mind that we are not an examination centre, so make sure to double-check with your child’s school that they offer the opportunity to take GCSE exams and check the dates and deadlines to book in advance.
Dedicated to Y12 and Y13 students, but opened to Y11 as well, these courses provide a pleasant learning experience of the Italian language and culture through the study of literature, cinema and history of Italy and other Italophone regions.
The programme is based on EDEXCEL specification and prepares the students for higher education or work.
Please bear in mind that we are not an examination centre, so make sure to double-check with your child’s school that they offer the opportunity to take A-level exams and check the dates and deadlines to book in advance.
