Learn Italian at LSI partner school in Lugano
Nestled in the southern foothills of the Alps, Lugano is an idyllic spot to learn Italian in Switzerland. A picturesque town of cobbled streets and cafes, set on a magnificent lake, Lugano offers the visitor a wealth of experiences.
Our LSI partner school is located right next to the railway station and just a 10 minute walk from the city centre. Due to its high vantage point, the school has amazing views of the city and the lake. The building has been recently renovated and has bright, well-equipped classrooms, a comfortable student lounge, student library and a large terrace overlooking the lake. The bright colour scheme throughout the school has been influenced by Le Corbusier, the Swiss artist, architect, urban planner and writer. Lugano has a great transport system ensuring quick access to the many local tourist sites.
