Florence and its surroundings offer a nearly unlimited variety of leisure activities and attending lessons is not enough for truly learning the Italian language. For this reason, our cultural department organizes a wide range of activities for our students every month. Most of the activities take place outside the lesson times and are a good occasion for meeting and getting to know other students.

Since their first day in the school, students will receive all the details about our activities and every week the administrative office will announce all the scheduled initiatives and excursions.

We offer leisure activities as well and organize regularly, like: 

• dinners, which allow professors and students to get to know each other better;
• guided tours of art history;
• movie nights at school;
• full-day or half-day excursions;
• visits to wine cellars.

Every month our school distributes its calendar of cultural activities. In this way, participants will always be well-informed concerning exhibitions, concerts, films, and other events. For the weekends we hand out special leaflets for individual trips. All students receive a written guide indicating active and passive sporting activities and the secretary's office can also help with the organization of sporting activities.
