Parola | Italian Language School in Florence
Welcome to Parola Italian Language School!
Our Italian language and culture center offers a wide range of courses at a reasonable price in Florence, Italy, taught year-round by friendly, experienced native speaking-teachers.
A wide choice of Italian Courses
At our Italian school in Florence, we offer a wide range of language courses to meet the diverse needs of students, including group Italian courses, individual lessons, combined courses that unite group and private lessons, online lessons, evening courses or language programs for au pairs.
Our courses cover the six grammatical levels of the Italian language, from A1 to C2, following the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
Our School is in the Heart of Florence
Parola School teaches students of all ages and nationalities. Our Italian language lessons take place in a stimulating and welcoming environment, thanks to the professionalism and helpfulness of our native-speaking teachers, who hold humanities degrees or specialized qualifications for teaching Italian as a foreign language.
Parola is enviably located in the historic center, allowing you to discover and fully experience the wonders of Florence, its art, and its culture. We look forward to welcoming you at Borgo Santa Croce 17, inside the prestigious Palazzo Mori Ubaldini Degli Alberti.
Parola School is an Accredited Center for the CILS exam
The CILS exam offers a prestigious certificate of Italian language proficiency: it is an official diploma of the Italian language, approved by the Ministry of Education and managed by the University for Foreigners of Siena.
Having a CILS certification allows you to study and work in Italy with all levels from A2 to C2, to obtain citizenship with the B1 level, and to access Italian universities with the B2 level.
Group and Private Courses, In-Person and Online
Our language center offers in-person Italian courses in small groups of up to 12 students (averaging 6 to 7 per class), as well as small online group language lessons with a maximum of 5 participants (averaging 3 per class).
Beyond the classroom, the school provides a good range of recreational activities designed for our students, including guided tours of Florence’s most iconic museums and churches, group dinners, aperitifs, and cultural walks—fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of Italian culture.
Italian courses with extracurricular lessons
In addition to Italian courses in Florence, our language center offers art lessons, fashion history courses, and cooking and drawing courses that integrate perfectly with Italian language instruction; programs, available outside of our Italian institute’s regular courses, that ensure an engaging and fun learning experience, enriched by unique experiences in Florence.
