School Trips Italy

Palermo is the capital of the gorgeous island of Sicily; the ball being kicked by the boot of Italy, as it were.

It is the cradle of ancient civilisations and has always been a crossroads of cultures between East and West: through history its strategic position has attracted people of diverse race, language and religion, and today it continues to enchant a yearly influx of visitors who come to savour the warm Mediterranean climate and take in the island’s fascinating history, culture and sumptuous cuisine. Or maybe they've heard that Sicilians have one of the longest life expectancies and are simply hoping to be let in on the secret...

School Trips Italy
The school was founded in 1975 and is part of a well-established and highly successful worldwide chain of language schools. It occupies two floors of a beautiful 100-year-old building in the heart of Palermo, near to the main square and the town’s most elegant shops.

In 2001 the school was completely renovated to meet new European standards, and it now boasts excellent facilities such as a multimedia room, library, study room, video room, free and unlimited internet access, and an open-air patio with a snack bar where students can relax after class. The school also offers excellent student services and counselling in over 5 languages.

School Trips Italy

“I found the school very well-organised and the staff very helpful. It has been a great experience and very useful for me in improving my Italian, as I’ve been able to clear up some grammatical points that I found difficult when studying Italian in England. The city is beautiful and the school is very close to the beach, which is a bonus.” Alex Bonomi
