What we like about the school
- Every afternoon free organized leisure activities for adults
- Excellent nationality mix. No student nationality makes up more than 15% of students.
- For chain schools: Same conditions for waiving the inscription fee also apply if the student has booked at another school of the same school chain.
What we dislike about the school
- Younger students should consider that the average age of students at this school is significantly higher than at most other schools.

What students liked about Centro Koinè, Bologna
Martelle28 years
“I loved Centro Koine, and highly recommend it. I was able to build great relationships with both the teachers and the students as everyone was very friendly. The building was quaint and in a great location near San Stefano. As a beginner, I received a lot of time and attention, and feel like I learned as much as a could during my short 1-week stay with the school. Centro Koine does a great job at facilitating interactions among students and teachers in an informal setting, and I hope to visit the school again at some point to advance my Italian.”

Other comments: I traveled with EF before - there, the price-performance ratio did not match up. But this small language school has been cheaper for five weeks than if I would have traveled only two weeks with EF. The familiy atmosphere, the courses are small, the teachers are really nice and very endeavored, students from all over the world.
