History

CCI was founded in 1995. It houses 80-100 students per year from a variety of countries, and has graduated more than 1,500 students since its founding.

Facilities

The main school building, which contains twelve classrooms, is a 14th-century three story stone and brick palazzo which is located on Via Cavour. This was a family home as early as the 1300s, and was later used as the Canadian Headquarters for troops during the World War II. The school has a library, study and computer spaces, two Art rooms and a Science lab.

CCI boys and their Don reside at The Allegria, the oldest inn in Lanciano, a few minutes away from the school, which also functions as the main dining restaurant for the students.

The girls' residence, Santa Maria, is an antique three-story building that can house up to forty. It is one of the largest buildings in the historical quarter and it is lined with balconies that face the main square and the rooftops of Lanciano.
