ITALIAN LANGUAGE CLASSES
• Depending on the size of the classroom each class will have between 6 and 10 students in
order to respect a minimum distance of 1 metre between each participant.
• The weekly schedule might be adapted if needed and starting and break times can be
staggered to avoid many students moving around the corridors or in the common areas of
the school at the same time. Teachers will advise of break times on arrival

common areas are maintained to a high degree of cleanliness.

on open air activities. Milan offers many opportunities for this kind of activities
HEALTH CARE

determine the treatment and measures that need to be taken.
• In case of positive COVID-19 testing, the student will be asked to stay in the
