Our Teaching Method:
Our approach to teaching Italian is direct. From the first day of class, Italian becomes the language between the teacher and the students and among the students. The communication in Italian is pervasive and therefore students automatically develop their ability to understand and speak. The small number of students in class helps to highly improve the performance of each participant.

This teaching method works effectively due to our teachers who have been selected for their specialization in teaching Italian to foreigners and for their natural qualities of communication. The relationship they establish each day with their classes leads our students to achieve good results an enjoyable and efficient way.

- Course programs tailored to those needs
- Assurance of learning the language
- Immediate introduction into the language
- Flexible schedules
- Reduction of time in which to learn the language

Florence is the perfect city for studying Italian. Among the varied and important reasons are: the purity of the Italian language spoken here, Florence's extraordinary cultural past, the great number of museums and monuments, and Florence's central location which allows easy travel (one or two hours) to cities like Siena, Pisa, Venice and Rome.

Anyone can join our excursions. No particular requirements nor enrollment in our Italian courses are requested to attend any of them.All excursions can be conducted in English or Italian.Each excursion takes place every day.

This tour program to the most notable and beautiful sites in Tuscany and Italy, represents a natural continuation of our Art History course outside Florence. It can also be considered just as a program of excursions by itself, for those who don't want to participate in the Art History course or any other of our courses.

This program of excursions is recommended for everyone who wishes to enjoy scenery while gaining a more complete view of Italian historical beauties. Depending on the distance from Florence, some excursions last half day (4 hours) while others require a full day (7 hours).

Siena and Montalcino:  Siena and Montalcino are two of the most fascinating towns in Tuscany. Siena is a Gothic pearl, perfectly crowned by its original walls with a Cathedral that is considered one of the most beautiful in Italy.

Montalcino is the home of Brunello, one of the most famed and expensive Italian wines. Near Montalcino lies the Abbey of Sant'Antimo, the perfect "cathedral in the desert". This huge structure lies in a field, far from any other constructions, and some of its columns are built with onyx, which light up when hit by sunlight.
