Programs, seven areas, one summer
Two weeks inside the fields that define Italy: engineering and motorsport, design and fashion, medicine, business and elite sport. Built on real projects, not lectures.
Juniors · Summer 2027
A summer in Italy
A summer in Italy
that shapes a future
Hands-on summer programs for students aged 8 to 18, taught in English at universities, companies and sports clubs in Milan, Rome, Parma, Veneto and Indianapolis. CI Ireland guides your family from the first conversation to departure.
Why Juniors
More than a summer camp
Hands-on, for real
Build and race a scale F1 car, launch a rocket, prototype a medical device, create a fashion brand. Every program ends with something the student made.
70+
English every day
All classes are in English, with classmates from more than 70 countries. Two weeks of using the language for something that matters to them.
Universities, companies and clubs
Classes happen where the industry happens: engineering academies, medical universities, design studios and an official Serie A training centre.
24/7
Safe and supervised
Residential students stay in hotels and residences with 24/7 staff supervision, full board, daily shuttles, insurance and organised excursions.
Career orientation early
Trying a field at 15 or 16 makes the university choice at 18 far clearer. Students leave with a certificate and a portfolio project.
CI Ireland by your side
Your consultant helps choose the program and format, handles the enrolment and documents and stays in touch with the family throughout.

Common questions from parents
What ages are the programs for?
The academic programs (engineering, design, fashion, business, health, music) are for students aged 15 to 18. The football camp at AC Milan welcomes boys and girls from 8 to 16.
How much English does my child need?
All classes are in English. For the academic programs an intermediate level is enough to follow and take part; for the football camp the reference is B1 or above. Your consultant helps assess this.
What is the difference between residential and day?
Residential includes accommodation, full board, shuttles, evening activities and excursions with 24/7 supervision. Day covers classes and labs only, for families staying in the city.
Who looks after the students?
A dedicated staff team supervises the group 24/7 during residential programs, and every student is covered by liability and accident insurance. Parents receive the on-site contacts before departure.
When should we enrol?
Places are limited per program and confirmed on a first-come basis with a deposit; the balance is due before the end of May. Enrolling early also gives more choice of dates and format.
What does CI Ireland do?
We are your single point of contact: program choice, enrolment, documents, payment guidance and support to the family before and during the program. Our guidance is free.
