Our programme is specifically designed for teenagers between 14 and 17.
Every day they will be able to do sport or visit some of the most interesting cultural hubs of Florence helping them to learn Italian with people the same age from all over the world.
They will stay with carefully selected Italian host families, giving parents back at home the peace of mind they need.
Throughout the years our programme has gained an excellent reputation, and we are sure that we can respond to the needs of even the most concerned parents. In order to eliminate any concerns and to know in advance the people who will take care of your child, we are available for a call via Skype or by phone.
“Making friends from all over the world, discovering unique and faraway places is a vital experience in the life of any young person.
Whoever does it while they’re young will remember it forever.”
(Barbara, our director)
What’s included & timetable
Standard Italian Group Course
A relaxed and interactive environment helps students to learn from the very beginning, there are moments for games and conversation, and lessons to help with grammar, reading and writing.
Daily programme of activities
After the morning classes, there’s something to do every afternoon, a chance to make new friends and practice your Italian.
We offer tours to explore Florence, weekend trips to the beach, afternoons playing football, volleyball or other games together; outings to other nearby cities in Tuscany, photography sessions, learning how to make pasta, the list goes on.
Life with a host family
The participants are looked after by Italian families, who all live in the centre of Florence or places that are easy to reach with public transport.
We have known them all for a long time, and they are all trustworthy, reliable and welcoming and can help your children easily enter into the day to day life of an Italian family.
It’s the perfect opportunity for your children to get the perfect balance between feeling looked after and supported, while also having the chance to grow and mature.
Transit service from the airport/station
We will look after your children from the minute they arrive up until the minute they leave: a member of our staff or host family will pick them up from the station or airport and then will take them back at the end of the programme.
