What we like about the school
  • The school organises free guided tours of the city.
  • Excellent rating of homestay accommodation

What we dislike about the school
  • Do not offer favorable cancellation terms in the case of a student getting a visa rejected.

Location: Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Turin is located in one of the choicest locations in the city, in the Piazza San Carlo, next to the famous Caffè Torino. The school is housed in the Palazzo Turinetti di Pertengo; students step out the door and they are in the very centre of Turin. From there, almost all the major attractions of the city can be visited on foot: the Egyptian Museum; the Mole Antonelli; Piazza Castello and the Palazzo Madama; Turin’s Royal Palace; and Saint John the Baptist Cathedral, home to the Holy Shroud of Turin; are all within walking distance. The Via Roma, with its high-end shops, goes directly from the Piazza San Carlo to the Porta Nuova train and subway station in less than 10 minutes.

The school: Scuola Leonardo da Vinci has excellent facilities and they strive to keep a school where students can feel welcome and at home. It is an authorised examination centre for the "Florence" exams of the Italian Academy of Language (AIL) and the CILS exams of the University for foreigners of Siena. They offer Intensive Italian courses, language and culture programmes which include art history, and modern day Italy, as well as their 50+ Dolce Vita programme.

Added Bonus: As one in a group of five schools, Scuola Leonardo da Vinci in Turin also gives students the opportunity to take their studies to one of their partner schools in other cities in Italy, organising special programmes with that very purpose in mind.

“Fantastic location, with friendly and skilled teachers. The course was well-organised, and the content was easy to follow.

Practical conversational skills development classes.

Free candy.

The front desk was AMAZING, and front desk, helped a lot with Questura, document problems, printing and submitting certificates.

Excellent tours and trips.”
“Chairs are extremely uncomfortable, sitting on hard surface for 4-5 hours for 8 months was a painful experience.

Certificates unfortunately cannot be used for CV or jobs, but still do their part for education purposes.

Material is very good grammatically and for study purposes but a little outdated in terms of examples and stories and in some cases topics were a little uncomfortable.”
Insider tip: “Find books for exercise, because you need a LOT of practice to understand and apply concepts correctly.”

“Excellent teachers. My teacher Antonietta, was very attuned to each person in the class. Gave everyone time and attention. The content of the texts was interesting and relevant.”
“The course was quite intense with homework every evening except Friday. There were also outings and trips. I found myself exhausted a few times. However I do not know how this could be improved.”
Insider tip: “For me walking around the city was important. Information about areas of the city e.g. Via Po with bookstalls and bookshops, il mercato and Grande Balon.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: It was very well organised and brought people together well.Other comments: Students should be told to be careful in certain areas. Just a gentle warning to be careful of bags and things that they carry. My friends wallet and phone were stolen on the crowded number 4 tram at 6pm. Afterwards we were told that it is a particularly dangerous route.

“Lovely, enthusiastic teachers and guides. My teacher, Lisa, put so much effort into making the lessons interesting and pitched them at just the right level for us and she was soooo patient!!!!

“Very good teaching staff, interested in the subject and in the students, who are able to inspire the students with the language and who are also very friendly.”
“The accompanying booklet, which offers little explanation of grammar topics, is not optimal. The seating is not very comfortable and the tables offer too little shelf space.”

“Super teacher (Alessio), interesting lessons, good, digital equipment (however, was temporarily accommodated at the Abbey School with the course as the courses at the main location were fully booked).”
“Tip: Hand out confirmation of participation directly after completion of the course.”
Insider tip: “Weekend excursion which I unfortunately could no longer take part in”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Super fun, interesting preparation C1Other comments: Offer the guided tour on different topics rather for certain level. Otherwise, some people don't understand so much and ask the same-speakers in their mother tongue to translate. It's a bit of an unfortunate situation. This is my third course. Rome and Turin are at the top of my list.

“The courses are run by good teachers, there are flexible additional materials. The integration into the ongoing course was very okay for me as a participant of only one week among participants of several weeks.”

“The school has a very warm and friendly atmosphere, with fun social activities to get to know each other. The teachers are very good, informal and have a lot of patience. They will gladly answer all your questions after class or during the breaks.”
Insider tip: “The apericena is a very good way to get to know the other students and make new friends. Also if you are interested in buying more books on Italian language or grammar, the school sells a lot of different books for all levels. The coffee-machine in the school is fine but for really good coffee you should go to the bar just around the corner called 'CAFFETTERIA PRESIDENT' in via Pastrengo. There they have great coffee and hot chocolate but also lunch if you're having a long day at school!”

“The atmosphere was very good. Teachers were enthusiastic and there was a lot of individual attention. Met a lot of nice people and great social things were organized. Will definitely come back here!”
Insider tip: “Although public transportation in Turin is well organized, I would say, make sure you have a bicycle! Due to its Roman structure it is very easy to find your way in the city.”
Details of the review
Other comments: It's great that the classes are so small, there is always time for personal questions. I would have liked it to "learn more creatively" through literature, art, film, radio, music. That was discussed a bit the last week and worked very well!

"A very very nice Hostess worked 8-8pm daily…too difficult for her to organize dinners, especially because she often had plans to go out/meet her friends at 9:30pm or so. Terrific separate, yet attached, apartment. Recommend her only offering breakfast items placed in the student’s apartment. Again, very very nice woman but difficult for her to provide dinners…
