Italian + Art
Our Italian language classes are held in a peaceful area of the city centre.
Our classes are small because we feel that small class sizes are essential to facilitate the learning process and ensure that focus is placed on the learning requirements of the individual student, and on helping him/her to overcome any difficulties in a friendly environment, whilst the range of courses on offer allows the student to adapt the programme to their individual needs.
There are six levels from absolute beginners to proficiency, according to the European Language Portfolio.
It is possible to combine an Italian language group course with a Drawing and Painting techniques course.
Italian language classes take place in the morning, from Monday to Friday from 9.00am to 10.30am, 10 lessons per week.
Art classes take place from Monday to Thursday:
- from 11.30am to 1.00pm and 1.30pm to 5.pm (20 hours per week)
- or only in the afternoon from 1.30pm to 5.pm (14 hours per week).

Course feature
Classes are small to maximise learning.
Italian Language classes are offered at all levels, from those students who are just beginning to those with a more advanced comprehension of the language.
Students will be tested on arrival and placed at suitable level.
Students are required to attend their classes on a regular basis.
Credits and certificates
Accademia del Giglio recommends that students who would like to receive credit for their studies abroad check with their university or college prior to registration.
As most universities and colleges consider 15 hours of study per term to be an acceptable level, we offer classes which provide the equivalent of 5 hours of credit per term for the study of the Italian language, along with optional hours for those students who wish to study other modules such as the history of art, studio art, etc.

Testimonials
I should have written earlier to tell you how much I appreciated my stay in Firenze, your school and your teaching that really was superb. You managed to explain those difficult grammatical points that so far have been rather foggy in my mind.
Lisbeth, Sweden
The two months that I spent at the Accademia del Giglio were two of the most colourful and inspirational months of my life.
Hannah, UK
The teachers were so personable and enthusiastic (except Roberto, early in the morning) and classes were relaxed, yet productive; I have never learnt so much in such a fun atmosphere. What with the classes being so small, you really get to know your fellow students and I made some very close friends from all over the world during my time there – friendships that have really enriched my life. I can recommend no other language school as highly as this one.
