"Chianti in musica":

Photo of Summer Music School in Tuscany, ItalyUECA has organized Chianti in Musica summer courses for children for the last thirteen years.

We offer our students the opportunity to
- attend high quality instrumental one-to one lessons dayly with internationally renowned teachers,
- participate in the evening concerts and in the morning orchestra rehearsals and
- share with their coursemates and teachers a full week in which music becomes the absolute star: solo and ensemble music to pass an examination, to win a competition, to play in front of an
  audience, to perfect one's technique, to deepen the repertoire, to share a passion and to meet new friends.
Each evening towards 18.30, melodies from our musical aperitifs flood San Donato in Poggio. These free events are open to the general public; this year they will take place in the Romanesque church next to Palazzo Malaspina, and will be followed by the tasting of wines from local vineyards of Chianti.

Rome International School
Courses / Programs
Located in the heart of Rome, Lazio, in central-western Italy, Rome International School is a private international school providing an international education for children in nursery to grade 13. RIS has chosen to link with what we believe is the most prestigious of all educational systems, the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). With this is mind we offer the early, primary, middle years and International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. Students may still follow the two year British National Curriculum GCSE course before taking the IB Diploma program.

Although we firmly consider ourselves an international school, we never forget the language and culture of our host country and appreciate that many of our families still require the guarantee of an excellent preparation for the Italian state exam at the end of Grade 9 (Terza media). For this reason, students receive ample time for Italian lessons in language. Non-Italian students will study and learn to appreciate the Italian language and culture through a parallel course of instruction with our IAL teacher. Students taking a third foreign language may have the opportunity to sit external exams in the secondary school.
