Il Centro in Milano Il Centro was founded in 1986, in Milan. It quickly became a fundamental point of reference for foreigners needing to make a smooth adjustment to life in an Italian city.
At Il Centro, you can learn Italian language in one of the most important cities in Italy.
From the outset, the founders chose to teach only Italian language. The school’s staff is specialized in this area, and teaching methods, materials and learning challenges are constantly examined in the search of continuous improvement.
The Institute
Find us a couple of minutes up the street from La Scala opera house, a stone’s throw from the Brera Art Museum, in the artists’ quarter full of restaurants, pubs and galleries.
Il Centro is located in a Milanese building from the 18th century, with frescos on the ceiling and wooden floors that evoke the atmosphere of distant times.
Certainly it is a nice way to study the Italian language! Courses are all held in Via Brera. Learn more..

Methodology
Our school is staffed by highly qualified mother-tongue instructors.
Lessons are conducted using the communicative method with a humanistic approach and utilizing materials developed by the school staff.
The student is presented with a situation from daily life through the use of authentic materials. That situation is then analyzed in terms of grammar and of the linguistic functions it raises. Lessons are also supported by learning activities such as games, role-playing and videocassettes.
Research into new teaching methods and constant efforts to keep the personnel up to date allow Il Centro to produce valid materials and to satisfy the changing demands of students of the Italian language.
