Accademia Europea di Firenze is an italian language, art, culture and Music school in Italy situated right in
the heart of historic Florence.

Accademia Europea di Firenze actively participates in the city’s varied cultural activities, creating a climate of instinctive and pleasant
interaction between Italians and foreigners.

The Instructors
Our instructors, fully qualified and highly trained, are continuously updated on the most modern methods and research in the field of language didactics, guaranteeing a constant awareness of it’s functional aspects as well as the guidelines for a natural and active learning of the language. From the very first day of class, students are put in to the condition to be able to learn the language by actively “using” the language to confront common, everyday situations, to learn specific vocabulary and expressions and apply the correct grammatical functions.

The Method
Our method is based mainly on the achievement of linguistic proficiency through a consistent progress in all 4 of the fundamental skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing. Another very important aspect is, of course, the development of a linguistic foundation built on the solid knowledge and comprehension of the grammatical structures and syntax of the language.

A rapid and precise learning of the language is the goal of our courses, and likewise we encourage our students to constantly practice the use of the language, both in and outside of the classroom, during the extra-curricular activities to motivate their interest in learning the language through interaction.

Cultural and Recreational Activities
Aside from regular courses AEF offers a rich program of optional language and cultural activities (concerts, seminars, films, visits to museums and farms, language games) as well as extra-curricular and recreational activities (parties, dinners, food and wine tastings, sports, etc.) which are offered every week to ensure not only the enjoyment and cultural fulfillment of the students, but also to encourage them to practice the language in all of its aspects.

These activities are fundamental in contributing to the creation of a relaxed and familiar atmosphere that involves students, teachers and staff and facilitates the constant monitoring of the progress of each individual student.

The Music Department
Created for the foreign students, the activities of the Music Department are enriched by the participation of Italian students and Music professionals.

Apart from the organization of concerts and shows within the school and in the most renowned theaters in Florence, the Music department also collaborates and consults with the major Florentine music institutions for the programming of festivals and concert seasons.

The Art Department
Even the Art Department constitutes an occasion for the exchange of ideas amongst Italian and foreign artists. AEF regularly hosts student art exhibits, displaying their best works, both within the walls of the school, as well as in other locations around the city which traditionally host artistic events.

An active Scene-painting lab also gives the art students a chance to interact with the music department through the creation of sets for the theatrical performances sponsored by the Accademia Europea di Firenze.

Department of International Studies
This department was born from the need to satisfy the ever-pressing requests for specialization in various disciplines taught within our courses. AEF in collaboration with the University of Florence and other prestigious institutions, organizes seminars, internships and Master’s programs in close relation to the most significant episodes of modern-day culture.
