Centro Fiorenza - IH Florence

CENTRO FIORENZA

Founded in 1982 the CENTRO FIORENZA 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 classrooms are spacious, bright, comfortably furnished and airconditioned.

The teachers, young, friendly, and motivated, all with a university degree, 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 and 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 our 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 do not feel like “foreign tourists”, but rather part of a lively international family.

CENTRO FIORENZA is under the Patronage of Florence's Town Hall, is officially recognised by the Italian Ministry of Education, by the Swedish CSN and is a founding member of ASILS and PROFIL

 

FLORENCE

During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance FLORENCE became a world cultural centre where artists, architects, writers and scholars did things rarely, if ever, equalled. The evidence of these achievements is still present all over FLORENCE in its palaces, squares, churches, monuments and museums. Today FLORENCE is an active commercial centre for business and banking, for the production of leather goods and clothing, as well as for fashion design. The perfect dimension of a "town made to man's measure", FLORENCE counts less than 500.000 inhabitants. At the same time its innumerable artistic treasures and the natural beauties of the Tuscan countryside attract many people from all over the world to come to FLORENCE as their place for an unforget-table combination of learning and pleasure. After a busy day, the numerous and characteristic restaurants, bars, and discos of FLORENCE offer both residents and visitors a pleasant and animated way to meet people and make new friendships.
