Il Centro: Italian Courses in Milan since 1986

Il Centro is an Italian language school for foreigners that was founded in 1986 in Milan; Italy’s economic and financial capital, full of opportunities for work and study, a city of art and design, culture and fashion.

Since it has been founded, the school has offered flexible pathways for learning the Italian language. We design personalised courses for our students that help them to learn a practical Italian, applicable in day-to-day life and the workplace, with continuous tutorship in their study of both language and culture: the school’s warm, welcoming environment supports and sustains the human element of the learning process.

Il Centro: Learning amidst art, beauty and culture

The school is located in Via Brera 11, in an period building dating back to the 18th century. Placed in one of the most charming and evocative neighbourhoods of Milan, it is minutes away from the cities’ main attractions: Brera Art Gallery, La Scala opera house, Duomo Cathedral and the famous “golden rectangle” of fashion.

Brera is the artist’s neighbourhood of Milan and is home to many cultural events as well as a vibrant night-scene – an outstanding starting point to discover the city and all it has to offer.

All classes are taught in small groups in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The school’s didactic method places the individual firmly in the centre of the learning process. We have aligned ourselves with the affective-humanistic approach as it allows us to make the most of each individual student, their background and their abilities. Rather than simply suggesting a course to follow, we design educational pathways with lessons, activities and continuous tutorship from enrolment right through to the end of their studies, with highly qualified teachers trained in the most innovative techniques. The school’s permanent staff, highly qualified and trained in the very latest teaching techniques and with the guidance of our didactic director, collaborate together on a regular basis to create new learning materials and hone teaching techniques.
