The school in Rome organizes a full and varied program of social activities and excursions. The aim of the program is to ensure that students have every opportunity to practice the language, get a better understanding of the culture and at the same time make friends and have fun. The school offers the following activities and excursions.

Students’ Club
The basement of the building is dedicated to the Students' Club. This is where students have access to the TV, a piano, and plenty of room to socialize. The Students' Club is also where many other organized social events take place.


Seminars
Every week, outside normal class time, seminars are held on subjects like literature, history, regions and towns in Italy, Italian cinema, Italian cooking, and Italian wine. These seminars help familiarize students with Italian culture, and further immerse them in the Italian language.


Social Events
The activities calendar is always packed with things to do. Activities include films, concerts, operas, guided tours, parties, dinners and more. This is a great opportunity for students to meet other students and continue practicing their language skills. A calendar of social events is given to each student upon entry to the school.


Naples
The third largest city in France, Naples is not only home to Mt. Vesuvius, but also to highly treasured ancient artifacts like those in the Museo Archeologico Naziolnale. The city also houses some of the great 16th and 17th century architecture like the Castel Nuovo and the Palazzo Reaole. Of course, Naples is also known for having invented pizza, and it can't be visited without a trip to one of the hundreds of authentic pizzerias and Neopolitan restaurants.


Pompeii
Pompeii and Herculaneum were tragically buried in the blast of the volcano on Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. However, this eruption inadvertently preserved some of the modern world’s only examples of ancient Roman daily life. Because of many excavations in the old city, visitors can see examples of ancient Roman art, architecture and lifestyle.
Visitors here will be able to visit the Forum, the preserved center of city life, the House of the Faun, the House of Vetti, and the oldest standing amphitheater in the world.


Siena
The entrance to this city’s gate welcomes visitors with the inscription “Cor Magis Tibi Siena Pandit,” or “Siena opens its heart to you wider than this gate.” The hospitality and history here are unlike any other in Italy. As a lovely, walled-in city between Florence and Rome, Siena is a preserve for some of the best medieval architecture in the country.


Tivoli and Villa Adriana
Tivoli is located to the east of Rome on the Aniene River in the Monti Tiburtini hills. Historically, this town was a stopping point on the Roman trading route, as well as where wealthy Romans built their summer homes. Now Tivoli and its surrounding villas house famous Roman antiques and also offer the opportunity to bathe in natural thermal springs.
Visitors often choose to go to nearby Villa Adriana, famous for its extensive size and collection of antiques. The glorious grounds of Villa Adriana include lakes, fountains, libraries, baths, temples, gardens, and underground passages.


Assisi
As the birthplace of St. Francis, this revered town is located in the hills of Umbria about an hour's drive from Rome. Besides being considered a holy city, Assisi is also known for its peaceful atmosphere and beautiful landscape. One of the most noteworthy monuments in Italy, the Basilica of San Francesco, resides in Assisi, as do the churches of St. Peter and St.
Claire. People come from all over the world to find peace and spiritual awakening in the holy sites of Assisi.
