School location
IH Sicily is a group of schools which operates on the beautiful island of Sicily, in the South of Italy. IH Palermo and IH Catania are fully qualified centres that offer Italian language courses both for individuals or groups.
We offer General Italian courses, exam preparation, work experience, scuba diving and cookery lessons.
The schools are both located in the heart of the city centre. The school's excellent locations mean you are never more than a short walk away from all the major attractions in Palermo and Catania.
The wonderful sea landscape, the great warm-heartedness of its inhabitants, the rich and unique culture, its archeological and ancient sites, the active volcanoes such as Mount Etna and a Mediterranean climate, makes it an ideal place to be at any time of the year.
