The Leonardo da Vinci school is located in the historic centre of Milan, in a modern building a few minutes’ walk from Piazza del Duomo. The district is known for its liveliness and style, destination of foodies – thanks to countless restaurants to suit every budget –, lovers of culture attracted by theatres, bookshops, shops and two of the most important universities of the city: Università Statale and Bocconi. The style of our school is the same as that of Milan: Italian passion and creativity mixed with the particular Milanese focus on service quality. Our space is characterized by a youthful, functional and friendly design; the 12 classrooms are well equipped with modern audio-video systems and a high-speed Wi-Fi network. The school pays great attention to ecology and uses recycled materials, encourages sorting of waste and has an air-conditioning system with a low environmental impact.
