About the school
Who we are and how we work.
Oliva Allegra is a gastronomy centre within which the Wallner Private High School operates, focused exclusively on hospitality and gastronomy. The programme combines theory with hands-on work in the field, and classes take place in small groups with an individual approach to every student.
The emphasis is on practice and cooperation with hospitality establishments, so students graduate with concrete experience and a clear path toward employment or further education. Our students regularly win awards at vocational competitions, too.
