CILS - Bellaire High School

Welcome to our CILS page!

Bellaire High School is now a recognized Certification Center endorsed by the University of Siena, Italy.  

This means that students can now see their skills and knowledge in Italian recognized at an international level and can take at our campus  the CILS test usually administered by universities and colleges.
Our Center has two sessions every year: one in the Fall and one in the Spring.

Sponsorships for academically advanced BHS students are available.

External candidates, in particular those pursuing the Italian citizenship, are welcome.

For further information you can contact: cilshouston@gmail.com.
You can also follow our page on Facebook to receive updates.

La prossima sessione d'esame sarà presso la nostra sede l'8 aprile 2027. La scadenza per l'iscrizione è il 7 marzo 2027.
Gli estremi del pagamento verranno comunicati per email poco dopo l'iscrizione su questo modulo (this is the form to register).

Dati gli elevati costi di spedizione degli esami a Perugia, il Centro effettuerà le sessioni d'esame solo con almeno 5 candidati.

Per chi vuole fare pratica, qui trovate un canale YouTube con video di preparazione all'esame.
