Overview
 Apulia is situated in Lecce, a spectacularly beautiful baroque city but at the same time only a few kilometres from the unspoilt beaches of the Ionian and Adriatic seas.
The school is located in the historic centre of Lecce in a free standing 3-storey building of about 2000 sq. metres with a surrounding garden.
There are 12 classrooms, a Language Laboratory for 16 students, a multimedia laboratory with 10 computers connected internally via LAN and connected to the Internet via ADSL phone lines, a conference room with TV and video, and a gym, all available to our students free of charge.
Our Centre is also equipped with a shuttle bus service that takes the students to the beaches in the afternoons.
The school has 20 rooms, single and double, available to the students while they attend their courses. The rooms are located in apartments equipped with kitchen, bath and a garden.
There is a maximum of 10 students per group and this gives the teacher the opportunity to dedicate time and attention to each students individual pace,
and help them to achieve their language objectives.
Our regular and intensive courses are the quickest and best way to learn Italian. They can be organised for students of all levels and can be planned over a time period ranging from 1 to 48 weeks.
Extensive courses are intended for students who plan on staying in Italy for a longer period of time. Classes are held twice per week either in the morning or in the afternoon, according to the class timetabling requirements.
For students who need to personalise lesson times and days or for those who need to study specific aspects of the language, we can also offer mini-groups and individual classes.
Studying Italian at Apulia means learning a language in context. Thanks to our weekly activities programme, students are constantly involved in activities, events, trips and gettogethers which give them every opportunity to put into practical use everything they have learnt in class.
Students can take part in two activities per week at no extra cost and can choose from a range of activities such as guided tours of the city and monuments, cookery classes, literature study groups, film showings, current affairs discussions
- to name but a few.
