We dream of a world without borders or barriers, where knowledge is free to pass from one person to another, country to country, where people have the freedom to move and discover the beauty of the world. We believe that diversity is the purest and most wonderful display of life and that by embracing this we are able to share our own cultural values. The best way to get to get to know another culture is by learning a language, which is the natural vehicle of cultural knowledge and identity. Teaching a language is an act of love: to us, teaching Italian, means discovering this Great hidden Beauty. Every day we find this beauty in every single word our students learn.
Our approach
- Dynamic, qualified and open minded Italian teachers
- Flexible schedules to fit each student's needs
- A warm, caring, student-centered environment
- We use the CLT approach (Communicative Language Teaching) to learn by doing in order to acquire communicative competencies and explore Italian culture
Kappa Language School was founded by a group of young linguists and professional teachers who have been passionately teaching Italian to foreigners for more than ten years. Since 2012, the School is a PLIDA Certification Center as well as a member of the Dante Alighieri Society network and a founding member of the LICET Association.
A friendly environment, young and prepared teaching staff, competitive prices: Kappa Language School is the best choice for those who want to study in Rome and learn Italian.
