Where we are
We are blessed to be situated in one of the most beautiful buildings in the center of Florence, the Palazzo Galletti. We’re just a few minutes walk away from Piazza Duomo and Piazza Santa Croce.
The Galletti is a historic neoclassical building that was designed by the architect Vittorio Bellini back in 1831.
Our school occupies the second floor, the exterior of which accommodates four marble statues symbolizing the four seasons, that is, the symbol of the building.
Marble is also a characteristic element of the interior, as the three-story staircase is beautifully complemented by a marble balustrade. The majestic, amazingly adorned Ionic columns represent the final touch that completes the entryway.
Note: Our school is equipped to welcome people with disabilities. However, as it is located in a historic building on the second floor without an elevator, the measures we have taken are limited. We have a stairclimber and have made some adjustments to our classrooms to facilitate access. If informed in advance, we are available to rent external classrooms to ensure a more accessible and comfortable educational experience.

Our method
Our teaching method revolves first and foremost around practice, which, accompanied by grammar and rules of the language, allows our students to immediately experience the pleasure of advancing towards proficiency.
Both our online and face-to-face courses run in small/medium-sized groups of usually five to six people (our rule is a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 12 students per course).
Our online platform and all our classrooms are fully equipped with all the necessary tools to provide the best learning experience possible.
This allows for the combination of efficiency and the possibility of learning together with others, also making new friendships.
We are committed to ensuring high standards of teaching by entrusting the courses to teachers:
Stable: 90% of the classes are taught by teachers employed under permanent contracts, with salaries significantly above the industry average.
Carefully selected and constantly updated: almost all of our teachers hold both a master’s degree and the DITALS certification.
Our commitment to quality
Our quality system is built on regional, national, and European recognitions, as well as concrete commitments that ensure transparency, excellence, and continuous innovation.
We adhere to UNI and ISO standards for training quality, are members of ASILS, and hold Erasmus+ accreditation.
Our Italian Language school laid the groundwork for Europass Teacher Academy, which is an international network of high-quality teacher training, chosen by more than 5,000 European schools every year, and which we still monitor the quality of to this day.
Above that, we are an official examination center for CELI and CILS certificates, and millions of people around the globe use our free resources for learning.
