A city famed for its Art Nouveau architecture and several monuments, Cagliari has much to offer students. L'Accademia is in an excellent position to help, situated just a short walk from the Cagliari Cathedral, the Bastione Sant Remy, many shops, restaurants and more. Students have all they need to enjoy Cagliari and the surrounding areas whilst studying with L'Accademia.
Methodology: The school is a keen promoter of the Montessori teaching methods. Small group sizes are key to this method, ensuring that all students get the individual attention necessary to unlock their true learning potential. The school's friendly and passionate atmosphere is highlighted through the dedication and respect shown to each student and their individuality.
Social and Cultural: Extracurricular activities are available and featured within the teaching plans of the students. Activities include tours of the city with an accompanying teacher and guide, movie nights, dinner at a pizzeria and more. Excursions to local historical sites, beaches and museums take place regularly.
Accommodation: The school offers accommodation in shared apartments with local Italians and can assist with arranging accommodation in B&B or hotels, depending on the preference of the student.
Additional information: Cagliari and the island of Sardinia are places of much beauty, with spectacular beaches, rocky hills and mountains all around.

In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“I liked the teachers Fede and Giulia, the excursions were very helpful and practical. Fede is a very encouraging, conscientious, positive, growth-oriented, patience-devoted teacher. Giulia possesses similar qualities as Fede and her activities helped me with very practical, useful, basic language asking of questions while we actually performed the activity. The Directrice, Maura is very flexible and humanistic.”
“Nothing major really.
I think if I have one suggestion, for true beginners, I would put together a very basic, organized, weekly language, written goals handout to use as a basis of measurement learning accomplishment. ”
Insider tip: “Keep an open mind.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: I probably should have signed up for the beginners course as opposed to the little more advanced "conversational" class.

“Very friendly teachers. Enjoyed the cultural aspects offered. Excellent class size.”
“The didactic style of teaching was quite strange to me. Lists of verbs and prepositions with teacher explanations but little practice. I found it rather monotonous and repetitive. More variety with a bit of reading and listening in between to promote discussion and to practise the grammar would make it more varied. Fede was a lovely lady but I could not always follow her quiet and fast explanations. It would have been nice to have a change of teacher for the last hour of conversation. ”
