School building

The school

Founded in 1982 the CENTRO FIORENZA- IH Florence has its premises right in the centre of the historic city, in a prestigious seventeenth century palace. From windows overlooking the river Arno one can enjoy a delightful view of Florence and the famous Ponte Vecchio.
The 10 classrooms, all air- conditioned are spacious, bright and comfortably furnished.
The teachers, young, friendly and motivated, all with a university degree and IH Certification, are trained to teach Italian as a foreign language, using the most up-to-date teaching techniques.
The medium size of the school, 120/130 students during the peak months with the class limited to 12 students, permits our teaching staff a personalized control of each student and offers the possibility, even to beginner students, to acquire, in a short time, that clear view of the language necessary to face all the situations of daily-life.
One of the school’s main characteristics, which is much appreciated by students, is its friendly atmosphere that is established right from the first day with a “welcome party” for students, teachers and management staff.
Students at CENTRO FIORENZA – IH Florence do not feel like “foreign tourists”, but rather part of a lively international family.
