Centro di Lingua e Cultura Italiana Terramare's Mission Statement
Our school was founded in 1986 in collaboration with the Koine School in Florence. Also presently with the University for Foreigners of Siena, our school offers courses which can be accumulated for university credits for students from universities all over the world. For over 20 years it has accompanied students on their journey of discovery of, not just the Italian language, but also of this unique, natural and historic region. It is run by a co-operative of highly qualified teachers with many years experience of teaching Italian as a foreign language. Over the years, they have built up their know-how in intercultural communication, including the design of courses aimed at the linguistic and cultural integration of foreign students in state schools. We, therefore, offer a unique opportunity for those who want to learn a language, and also want practice using in active everyday situations . Our courses guarantee full immersion in Italian Culture and Nature.
