Language and information technology school, translation office

Glossa school, active since 1992, is situated in a marvellous lake setting where the town of Ascona lies, with a relaxing panorama and an atmosphere conducive to studying. We will make sure you are guided and helped until you reach your pre-set objectives. Ours is a language school with teaching for everyone and a large variety of languages can be learned.

The word Glossa comes from Greek and means “tongue”, an unknown word that needs to be explained, and this is the vocation of the school: to unveil to the students the  ysteries of foreign languages.
