Venice:

Image of Design School in Venice, ItalyA city that lives as though it were suspended between land and water. A place where the complexity of urban life is diluted by the rhythms set by nature and by the relationship – the only one of its kind in the world – between the breath of the sea and the bustling busyness of dry land.

Venice is an international city of commerce and history, tourism and the arts. City of major exhibitions and intense emotions, of the Biennale and the Golden Lion, of carnival along every canal and in every square, but also of silent islands and forests waiting to be discovered.

IED established close contact with cultural, economic and production systems, whose values it recognises and respects,inaugurating its new location in 2007 on the Island of Certosa, a perfect place for studying, researching and building on the topics that constitute the city’s most intimate identity. The courses at IED Venice are the result of this ideal commitment and of the innovative approach for which the Institute is renowned.

Centro Koinè
Courses / Programs
Koinè, 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 Koinè has developed teaching materials, books, and audiovisual tools, whilst also organizing seminars and teacher orientation courses. All of our teachers are specifically trained in these didactic methods. The lessons are not limited purely to language teaching, but completed by a series of introductory courses and guided visits to show our country’s landmarks. Koinè has expanded over time from its main school in Florence, with schools in Lucca, Cortona, Rio Marina on the Island of Elba and Bologna, the capital city of the Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy.

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.
