According to the time you have available, can attend one course of Italian language just for one week, and maybe make full use of your time with a very intensive course like the Florence Discovery or with a private Italian course.

If you decide to dedicate one or more months to the study of the Italian language, maybe you can relax a little more and choose the Gold course ore couple the study of Italian language with the History of Art courses or with one of the Cooking courses we offer.

Scuola Toscana is not too small, not too big.

It is big enough to have all the courses up and running the whole year ( whichever course you have booked, it will take place, you will never have nasty surprises like “sorry, no one else enroled for this course” ).

It is small enough to have the staff, teachers, secretaries and directors, always on the premises, always available !

If you are interested in learning Italian language, you can choose among more or less intensive courses.

If you are not sure, start with a less intensive and then add hours on the spot, paying the difference – at Scuola Toscana is possible !

If you are interested in Italian culture, you can join also the History of Art courses, or the Italian Wine and Cooking courses, or Italian for Music and Opera course.

Should you need Italian language for your work choose the Business Courses (did you know Scuola Toscana started as a Business Italian Language school ?), or the Italian for Tourism courses.

If you want to do something with your hands, have a try at the Art courses (you can draw, paint, do fresco, mosaic, etc.) or, again, at the Italian and Cooking course
