Description:
Lignano is a popular holiday resort town half-way between Venice and Trieste on the Adriatic Sea. The school campus is a self-contained residential center called Villagio Adriatico. It is in the midst of a beautiful pine wood forest and offers students everything from indoor and outdoor classrooms to accommodations, recreation rooms and a restaurant. The campus also includes a private sandy beach and numerous sporting facilities as well as a pool. The consistently beautiful weather and surroundings provide an almost limitless choice of outdoor activities to choose from including tennis, football, volleyball, beach volleyball, swimming, basketball and skating.
As an added bonus, the campus is shared with a number of Italian juniors so students will be given the chance to participate in activities with native-Italian speakers of their own age.
The morning schedule includes 3 hours and 20 minutes of language instruction with a mid-morning break. In total there are 24 lessons/week, 4 days/week. The course focuses on communication using lively and varied techniques. All study materials are included. The afternoon program consists of a number of pre-arranged sports and leisure activities which are tailored to the interests of the respective age groups. The evening program includes after-dinner walks in town as well as visits to a junior discotheque and beach games.
Once a week, there is a full-day excursion to places such as Venice, Verona and Trieste. All organized activities are fully supervised and age-appropriate.
