Koine
 Koine, named after a Greek word meaning “common
language”, is a special kind of school set up in
1980 as an association of teachers, all with
personal and professional experience in the area
of teaching Italian as a foreign language. These
teachers decided to create a new type of
organization which would differ from other
private schools in its style of working and
teaching methods. Today Koine offers its own
didactic methods, its own text books, cassettes
and videos, teachers specifically trained in
these methods, lessons which are not limited
purely to the teaching of the language, but
completed by a series of introductory courses
and guided visits to show our country’s
hallmarks.
Koine has expanded over time from its main
school in Florence, with schools in Lucca,
Cortona and Rio Marina on the Island of Elba
(all in Tuscany), and Bologna, the capital city
of the Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy.
Our schools are made up of teachers trained
professionally in the Florence centre, with the
intention of improving not only the quality but
also the quantity and variety of what it has to
offer.
Accreditation: Our school gained official
recognition from the Italian Ministry of
Education in March 2002 and belongs to ASILS
association of Italian schools for foreigners.
