ABC School Firenze

I've studied at ABC School for 3 weeks. They have great and friendly teachers and staff. I highly recommend the ABC School in Florence.

The Best staff, each person was so helpful and genuine,and professional! I loved it the first time- I am going back again. The teachers are truly caring and patient, and effective in their teachings. My experience with teachers such as Monica, really takes heart and interest in each student, as each of the other instructors do.Brenda, and Linda, were two other women who assisted me, I had a difficult time with learning the language, but they were patient and sincere in their efforts. I would recommend this school to others because they truly take investment in their students!

I’ve studied Italian language for a year at ABC School Firenze. During my stay in Italy, I’ve enjoyed a lot visiting museum with my friends.(There are some excursion programs and also aperitif , some times pizza dinner after school : very fun ) It’s ideal to choose ABC School if you want to study not only Italian language but also medieval Italian culture.

I'm currently enrolled at ABC scuola. When I started I didn't know any Italian and within a few short weeks I was able to communicate. The staff is pleasant, the teachers very good, and there is such a lovely sense of community at the school. And lots of opportunities to do things together after class. I highly highly recommend the school for anyone who wants to learn or improve their Italian skills.

I studied at ABC for 3 weeks in the summers of 2014 and 2015. The teachers are amazing and I highly recommend the school. I liked that the students are of various ages and come from many different countries. The course book is unique to the school. I also think the location is very convenient and allows you to immerse yourself in day to day Florence life.

10/10, I just finished a two-week Italian language course here and was blown away by the amount of Italian I learned in such a short period, specifically thanks to the amazing teachers at ABC! They have a great combination of grammar and conversation classes and all the teachers I have experienced where extremely skilled. Furthermore the whole communication and planning with the school beforehand went very smooth and I will most likely go back for another course later this year. Thanks Serena, Francesca, Silvia and the rest of the team :)

I have studied at a few different language schools in different countries and I can definitely say that the ABC School in Florence is my favourite. Most importantly, the teachers and teaching style is very effective. You are encouraged to speak Italian immediately and the teachers are so incredibly friendly that it is never intimidating! You have really small classes as well (maximum 8 people) so you really do get a personal, intense learning experience and after a few weeks you will definitely feel like your Italian has improved. What I also like about the school is that they organise accommodation for you as well as afternoon activities (food tours, films, museums, culture seminars etc.) so you're never bored and there is always the opportunity to improve your Italian even more in the afternoon. Lastly the school is in a great location. It's right in the historic centre in the Santa Croce quarter in the beautiful Florence which means that all the museums and restaurants are right at your doorstep. Definitely come here if you're interested in learning or improving your Italian, you won't regret it!

The experience of a lifetime! I cannot praise ABC School highly enough. From start to finish, my 3-weeks there was amazing. First, the school director, Monica, is highly responsive to all your inquiries, and works diligently to craft exactly the program you want to have. Once you arrive, the school secretary, Conny, is equally helpful, making excursion suggestions and telephone reservations on your behalf, and well as just generally making sure that you are happy about every aspect of your ABC School experience. The language instructors are amazing teachers, and really work hard to make the classes enjoyable. They also go the extra mile, and craft additional exercises outside the standard book curriculum when they see you have a weakness in a particular area (oh, you evil pronouns), plus move you around as needed to make sure you are always with students of a similar level. ABC also organizes student group activities after classes. While I was there, we did a guided walk up to San Miniato al Monte, a cooking class, museum visits to the Accademia and the Uffizi, and popular evenings out for appericena and pizza. On Saturdays, teachers also escort interested students to neighboring towns such as Pisa, Siena and Lucca. In addition to the morning Italian-language classes, I also took a course in Art History. Once again, Monica works with you to make sure you study exactly the artist(s) and/or time period that interests you the most. During the course, you have a private, 1 on 1 class with an Art History teacher. Each day you have a lecture or visit 1 or 2 locations throughout Florence with just your own art history specialist. The teacher makes sure that the class is tailored to what you are most interested in… more history? More art techniques? Just let them know. They are also excellent about suggesting other places to visit on your own that you might be interested in (because of funding restrictions, many museums have very strange hours – one place was open only Mon-Thurs, from 3-5 p.m.) In short, you are given a private, guided tour through one world’s richest art cities. Even if I forget 50% of what I learned, I’ll still be roughly 4,000 times smarter than before I took ABC’s art history course! I can’t think of a better place to learn and study Italian. I’d recommend ABC School to everyone.
