Programme

No matter your Italian level, you can begin a program any Monday of the year. For absolute beginners, lessons start every other second Monday.

Students can study from 1 week to 1 year and take a variety of course types. Some of the most popular are the 20 and 20 + 5 hours intensive courses to increase Italian knowledge as fast as possible.

Lessons are usually held in the mornings.

Classes are taught 100% in Italian and the teachers use the communicative method, meaning you learn grammar and rules by speaking and practicing rather than direct memorization. Italian lessons combine an ideal mix of grammar and communication, the content is tailored to the student’s need, in a relaxing, pleasant and interactive atmosphere.

The school also offers private lessons, mixed classes like Italian cuisine, Italian language through art history, Italian language for business, Italian language through food and wine experience, and test preparation lessons (CILS Certification). Just get in touch for more details about alternative course options.
Those who will be working or have other commitments during the day can also take part-time night classes at the school. Just get in touch for more details about alternative course options.

Every week, the school organize a program of social activities during afternoons, evenings or weekends. They are designed to practice Italian outside of the classroom, learn more about Italian culture and socialize with other students.
Some activities are free, others offered at a reasonable price and all are guided by a school’s teacher.

Before your arrival:

Before your arrival in Florence, you will have taken an online test to evaluate your starting level. This is to place you in the group of the correct level.

Your first day at school:

The first day, at 9am, you will have a meeting with a member of the school’s staff who will be able to answer all your questions about the school and its methods. Also, you will receive all the necessary materials for your studies. Students will enter class with everyone else at 9:30am.
The school is near many restaurants for lunch post-class and many sites to explore with your newly acquainted classmates. We provide lots of suggestions for things to do beside the school activities.

The school has an amazing program with activities each week (free or for a reasonable extra cost). These include walking tours of different areas of the city, museum / churches / monuments visits, cooking and drawing classes, guided tours to wineries in the famous Chianti area and more.

And at the weekend, we organize a trip to a nearby site to discover the Tuscan landscape, medieval villages and important sites like Siena, Lucca, San Gimignano. These are usually day trips and have an extra cost.
