Our new school location in the city of Florence is located in Gavinana, not far from the historical center. We offer a large parking lot and an easy drop-off option, and we are reachable by public transportation.
“Within today, tomorrow is already walking”
100% in English and 100% in Italian:
We offer all subject areas in both languages so that our students learn not only each language but also the subject matter vocabulary and skill-sets necessary to truly become fluent in both languages.
Classes with manageable numbers:
With a minimum of 6 students and a maximum of 12 students in every class, we’re able to give personalized attention to each and every student we have the privilege of teaching. We take teaching very seriously, and we believe that big classes are not conducive to an optimal language teaching environment.
Highly qualified teachers:
Our teachers are highly qualified both in their subject matter and in the study of teaching. As a teacher-training center, our school specializes in teacher preparation and implementing the most effective pedagogy and strategies in order to teach each of our students in the best ways possible.
More than the “traditional” subject areas:
We implement an interdisciplinary approach across all subject matter and in addition, we also offer: Growth Mindset, theater, music, yoga, coding and robotics, and critical thinking. This is all integrated in the weekly schedule.
“Even though the future seems far away, it is actually beginning right now”
Truly bilingual education:
Living both languages on a daily basis, the students’ capacity to really live, learn, and appreciate both languages quickly becomes natural and automatic
Inclusive environment:
Because our student body is made up of students from various cultures, the students quickly learn to appreciate each other’s languages and cultures. Our school welcomes spontaneous discussion whereby we discuss cultural differences and continue to appreciate one another.
Developing resilience:
As part of our curriculum, we study Growth Mindset which gives both teachers and students the tools to continue to develop their resilience strategies and a proactive mindset with which to face daily challenges
Homeschooling support and online options:
We’re available to study a personalized homeschooling support option and we regularly offer hybrid and online learning options, both full-time and part-time.
Extended hours:
It is possible to sign up for the extended school hour package. This means that your children can remain at school from 8 am – 6pm.
School lunch service:
We offer a hot school lunch service. Contact us for details.
