BrightSteps Calabria

A structured morning drop-off program in Castrovillari, a small town in the mountains of northern Calabria, Italy. Run by Simona — the founder of WorldSchooling Hub and host of the WorldSchooling Hub Podcast — BrightSteps operates Monday through Thursday, 9am to 12:30pm, at the Accademia delle Lingue. It's designed for kids ages 6–13 with an academic and STEM focus. At €550 per month, this is a practical option for families spending time in southern Italy who need consistent, quality programming for their school-age kids while they work. Castrovillari is off the typical tourist circuit — a genuine Italian town where your family will likely be the only foreigners — which is either a feature or a limitation depending on what you're looking for.
