1. Comprehensive Italian Language Immersion

The intensive Italian summer program forms the heart of the AIS Junior Summer Program. How long does it take to learn Italian in full immersion? According to some language experts, between 80 and 120 hours of full immersion and language study to reach proficiency. Our summer program offers a great start.

How long is Italian school summer? Conducted in the historic setting of Salerno or the picturesque coastal town of Paestum, the program includes 40 group lessons over two weeks. These sessions enhance grammatical prowess and vocabulary and encourage real-time conversation skills.

The structured environment of four daily lessons from Monday to Friday ensures consistent engagement with the language. Though classes are small, 4 to 10 students, individuals from different nationalities learn together, united by the Italian language. Our intensive Italian language program is designed to improve students’ language skills, but the benefits don’t stop there!

AIS Student Svetlana Koykova eloquently says, “Here we learn the Italian language in a warm atmosphere and in a very lively, exciting and creative way, transforming every lesson into real fun.” This testimonial highlights the vibrant, engaging atmosphere that makes learning Italian educational and truly enjoyable.

2. Unique Accommodation Experiences

Whether students choose the historical charm of Salerno or the natural beauty of Paestum, the accommodation options enrich the cultural experience. In Salerno, students stay at the Convitto Nazionale, a comfortable residence just a few minutes walk from the school and the city's heart.

The setting in Paestum offers a resort experience at Hotel Villa Rita, complete with a swimming pool and direct access to a private beach. Both Italian summer camp locations ensure that students become active participants in the local community.
