A live online open day for parents.
Saturday, 11th July 2026, 10:00 – 11:00 AM UK time
An hour with us, online — to see exactly what the residential week involves, walk through our Italian Centre room by room, and ask anything you want before you decide anything.
- - Online via Zoom
- - Free to attend
For parents of children aged 10–17. You’re welcome to join on your own first — most parents do.
Reserve your place
A five-minute introduction. Feel free to watch before you register.
Sending your child abroad for a week is a serious decision, and no website answers every question. So once a month we open the doors online and walk you through the whole thing ourselves — what the week looks like, what happens afterwards, and how we keep your child safe and supported throughout.
01 · What we'll cover
What we'll cover together.
The four capacities UK teenagers are losing today — and how the programme helps them rebuild each one.
A walk-through of the residential week at our Italian Centre — what happens from morning to night, and why each activity earns its place in the week.
What happens after the residential week — the four weeks of structured practice at home, the ongoing one-to-one tutoring, and the community your child stays part of.
A live conversation with a parent whose son attended last summer — she’ll share what she noticed before, during, and after.
A live tour of the Centre itself — we’ll walk you through the rooms, the study spaces, the lavender fields, and the long dinner table where everyone eats together.
Your questions — we keep proper time at the end for anything you’d like to ask directly. Travel, safeguarding, daily routine, cost — nothing’s off the table.
02 · Who you'll meet
Who you'll be speaking to.
The session is hosted by Diana, our UK parent contact — she’s the person you’ll deal with throughout, by WhatsApp and email, if your child comes. She runs the open day herself so the face you see online is the same one you’ll be speaking to afterwards.
She’s joined by a member of the teaching team who works directly with the children during the week, so any question about the method or the daily routine gets a first-hand answer.
The method behind the programme, Three-Dimensional Reading, was developed by our founder Filippo Rossi. You can read about the method and the wider team on the programme page.
03 · A few honest notes
A few honest notes.
- It's a real video call, not a recording — so you can actually ask things.
- You don't need to turn your camera on, and you don't need to have made any decision beforehand.
- Nothing is marketed to your child as a result of attending. This is for you.
- If the time doesn't suit, register anyway and we'll send you the next date.
04 · What they say

Over the past eight years more than 9,700 young people have come through the programme across six countries. The simplest way to judge whether it’s right for your child is to spend an hour with us and see for yourself.
That's the whole picture. If it sounds like it might be right for your child, spend an hour with us and see for yourself.
