At Florence Bilingual School, we welcome students from anywhere in the world. Our aim is to offer each pupil the learning environment and opportunities to make them thrive.
As a paritaria bilingual school, we follow the Italian curriculum (approved by the Italian Ministry of Education) with a selection of subjects taught in English (science, technology, music, and arts).
For this reason, pupils applying for preschool and lower primary school are encouraged to have a basic knowledge of Italian and/or English.
As students move up the school, it is helpful for them to have an age-appropriate level of both languages. We can support pupils' language development by providing extra tuition in either Italian or English.
Complying with the Italian Education System, students take state exams at the end of middle school. Our students also take Cambridge Checkpoint exams at the end of primary (5th grade) and of middle school (8th grade).
Those who elect French or Spanish as a third language in middle school are encouraged to also take the language certifications, respectively DELF or DELE.
