2 · The school
A green campus beside the Venice lagoon
The Summer Academy takes place on the H-FARM campus at Roncade, a modern education campus set in parkland overlooking the Venice lagoon – just 13 km from Venice Marco Polo Airport and 27 km from Treviso Airport.
The campus is home to H-FARM International School, with schools, labs, a library and food and social areas, surrounded by fields and open space.
Residential students live in the campus boarding houses, in double, triple or quadruple rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. Rooms are arranged by gender, age and course, and boarding staff look after students from the end of activities until breakfast, with 24-hour campus security and an on-site nursing team.

3 · The summer programme
Tech, creativity and sport – in English
Each week focuses on a theme. Mornings are hands-on workshops in the campus labs, and afternoons are sport, with evening activities for residential students. Most camps are taught fully in English; English and Robotics and English and Digital Storytelling are for beginners (A1–A2) and mix English and Italian.
At the end of each week, students present what they have made to families, and receive a certificate of the skills they have learned.
