🎃 Studying can be scary sometimes... but not at FBS!
👻 Every day here is full of exciting discoveries, amazing friends, and wonderful teachers.

Stimolare la curiosità è il primo passo per costruire menti che amano imparare. 💡
E allora partendo da un breve testo in inglese su Yayoi Kusama e da una domanda su cosa significa sentirsi connessi i nostri studenti di seconda #scuolaprimaria hanno scoperto parole nuove, hanno riflettuto e si sono confrontati in inglese per poi esprimere tutta la loro creatività — un piccolo viaggio dentro e oltre le parole. 🎨
Il nostro percorso bilingue, in italiano e in inglese, offre agli studenti competenze indispensabili per la loro crescita e il loro futuro, a partire da quelle logico-matematiche e di letto scrittura, in italiano e in inglese in parallelo perché non si pongano mai dei limiti all’apprendere, vivendolo con gioia. 🌱
Non è questo il tipo di apprendimento che vorreste per vostro figlio? 💫
👉 Iscrivetevi al prossimo Open Day e venite a conoscere i nostri insegnanti di persona. Vi potranno raccontare molto di più!

Curiosity is the first step toward building minds that love to learn. 💡
Starting from a short English text about Yayoi Kusama and a thought-provoking question — what does it mean to feel connected? — our second-grade students discovered new words, reflected deeply, shared ideas, and expressed their creativity in a journey through and beyond language. 🎨
Our bilingual curriculum, in both Italian and English, equips students with essential skills for their growth and future. From logical-mathematical thinking to reading and writing, learning happens in parallel across both languages — joyfully and without limits. 🌱
Isn’t this the kind of learning experience you’d want for your child? 💫
👉 Sign up for our next Open Day and meet our teachers in person. They’ll be happy to tell you much more!

FAQs
Florence Bilingual School offers a bilingual Italian-English curriculum from nursery to secondary school. Recognized as a paritaria school by the Ministry of Education and Merit, we combine the Italian curriculum with the prestigious and rigorous Cambridge International Pathway, designed by academic experts to provide students with the most advanced educational opportunities.
The school offers students aged 3-14 a wide range of extra-curricular activities, many of which are conducted in English. From sports to music, from art to drama, from journalism to Debate - Model United Nations, to STEM, our after-school activities are all designed to enrich the school curriculum and offer pupils an additional opportunity to discover and cultivate their interests, passions and talents.
Being immersed in a bilingual environment from an early age is an unparalleled opportunity. Beyond mastering Italian and English, students at Florence Bilingual School develop enhanced cognitive abilities, including improved concentration, multitasking, abstract thinking, creativity, communication skills, empathy, and cultural awareness.
The Florence Bilingual School follows the regional school calendar but opens to pupils from the first working day in September until the last working day in June. Nursery and pre-school pupils can choose to attend the summer centres organised by the school, which are usually held in the first two weeks of July. For the Menarini Baby nursery school the summer centres last the whole month of July.
The tuition fee includes canteen service, extended opening hours from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with supervision, and the shuttle service between school buildings during school hours. Extra-curricular activities (FBS Clubs), educational visits, school trips, Immersion Stay, and morning school bus service are not included.
The Florence Bilingual School organises summer centres for the first weeks of July for children aged 3-6. For children not enrolled in the school, participation is subject to the availability of places. For further information: eca@florencebilingualschool.it
