The study vacation is held in Rimini, a very welcoming historic seaside city full of life where “the Italian language is like the sand on the beach: soft, warm, and welcoming, capable of making us feel at home.” The study vacation in Rimini combines both the scholastic dimension and that of fun and everyday life in a harmonious, engaging way for students.

The study vacation is held in Rimini, a very welcoming historic seaside city full of life where “the Italian language is like the sand on the beach: soft, warm, and welcoming, capable of making us feel at home.” The study vacation in Rimini combines both the scholastic dimension and that of fun and everyday life in a harmonious, engaging way for students.
Rimini is in a strategic position for visiting places of art and culture, landscapes and territories full of charm, art and history, and traditions that are hospitable by their very nature.

The study vacation group participants stay in comfortable four-star hotels near the beach, so that after lessons they can also enjoy the seaside and all the scheduled events.
Students eat a hearty breakfast in the hotel every morning.
The hotel also provides a light packed lunch to be eaten at school or during day trips.
Dinner is at the hotel with typical Italian menus specially designed for the students to taste and learn about the variety of Italian food.
THREE SPECIAL DINNERS are planned in restaurants in Rimini to welcome them, mid-vacation, and for a pre-departure farewell.

The teachers are highly qualified and trained in teaching Italian Language and Culture using the TILI methodology.
Each group of 15 students is assigned a bilingual teacher and every three groups has a teacher specialized in the chosen subject area:
MUSIC AND PHOTOGRAPHY – ART – MOVIES AND THEATER – LITERATURE
A Group Leader works with the team of teachers, taking care of all the tour-related matters and entertainment, as well as being a reference point for all the students’ needs.
The teaching team is supervised and led by a Director.

STUDY VACATION CALENDAR
The teachers and the entire team use the table (below) for the two weeks of the study vacation, making any modifications and customizations they deem necessary according to each class group and the individual participants.
In general terms, however, this table is absolutely guiding and clarifies the development of the study vacation, which the teachers’ team naturally integrates with the specificity of the lessons and study paths.

The lessons are held in a highly prestigious building with historical value in Rimini: Palazzo Buonadrata.
The classrooms have appropriate equipment for the use of technology that allows video projections and online connections to the learning platforms offered.
The classrooms therefore combine aspects of modernity and topicality with those of an environmental setting that is an expression of the highest typically Italian cultural manifestation.

History
Palazzo Buonadrata is on Corso d’Augusto in the city’s historic center. Historical records of the Buonadrata family date back to the 1500s, and the first mention of the palace is found around 1600. Subsequent work was carried out during the 1700s and after the 1786 earthquake that partially destroyed the building, with the architect Giuseppe Achilli responsible for the reconstruction of the façade.
Over the centuries, the Palace has hosted various figures: the Queen of Naples (in 1735), Napoleon Bonaparte, Victor Emmanuel II and Giuseppe Garibaldi.
The building was also home to the Giulio Cesare Classical High School from 1931 to 1996, including its most famous alumni, the director Federico Fellini.

Students are mostly given a choice of activities in the afternoon hours, all particularly engaging and interesting:

• PHOTOGRAPHY, PAINTING, POETRY, OR SINGING COMPETITION
• MUSICAL AUDITION
• COOKING WORKSHOP: a meaningful, aggregating, and characteristic experiential moment of Italian-ness.

Consultation in the library of books and journals to consolidate the spirit of research that contributes to increasing knowledge of Italy in its varied and multiple manifestations and expressions.

Leisure activities are particularly favored by the area where the summer school is located.
Free and organized time for seaside life with:

• BEACH VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT
  
• STROLLS IN THE CITY

Individual leisure and entertainment choices coordinated by the group leader:

• TRIP TO AQUAFAN IN RICCIONE
  
• TOUR ROME ON A SIGHTSEEING BUS
  

Returning to Italy for another study vacation.
Choose an Italian university to pursue your studies.
The TILI study vacation is proposed and developed on three linguistic-cultural levels: students will therefore be able to return for at least three years, sure of being able to continue the course and find the same educational climate and environment. It becomes something to look forward to, a destination and a starting point for the following school year in educational continuity with the same school.
Particular care and attention is also given to the opportunity to study at university in Italy through a meeting specifically for presenting the Italian school system and the choices offered by our universities.
The study vacation can thus also offer an orientation and choice in studies.
