Sorrento is a real haven of peace for study and creativity and it is not by chance that it has been, for more than three centuries, the destination of international artists, poets and musicians.
The town, Torquato Tasso's birthplace, was also the residence for some time of Wolfgang Goethe, who found here the muse inspiring the composition of his famous "Parsifal", Ibsen who wrote "Ghosts" in Sorrento, Lord Byron, F.Cooper, I. Taine, Giacomo Leopardi, Albert Dumas, Giuseppe Verdi, Oscar Wilde and Friedric Nietzsche who lived here finding inspiration for extraordinary works.

"The Italian language classes that my daughter and I just completed in Sorrento were fabulous. The teachers were excellent, and the classes interesting and demanding. My daughter learned easily twice as much in the three weeks she studied there compared to an entire year in high school. She was able to converse in Italian enough to carry on basic conversations, and her comprehension of spoken Italian was excellent, even when the Italians speaking were talking at a normal conversational speed.
My daughter commented to me that the month she spent in Italy was the best vacation she ever had. She was particularly happy about how much she learned and that she was able to talk to the Italian kids she met after a couple of weeks. My Italian improved tremendously as well.
All of the teachers and administrators were friendly, informative, and well-versed in language teaching techniques. To take a classroom as diverse as the ones we were in (three Japanese students, one French, three American, two German) and have everyone learning and talking was just incredible."
