alpha beta piccadilly offers various initiatives for children and teenagers across South Tyrol, both during the school year and during the summer holidays. These courses are divided according to age, as the age of the children can have a great effect on the learning process. Courses range from our summer nursery school to language courses for Primary, Middle and High School students. During the summer and the autumn and winter half-term holidays, we run many exciting language camps, in which the principle of learning by doing is the key phrase, linking language with various sports and leisure activities.
