SCUOLA LEONARDO DA VINCI
The Scuola Leonardo da Vinci, founded in 1977, is one of the most respected language schools in Italy. As a founding member of the Accademia Italiana di Lingua (AIL) and the Associazione Scuole d'Italiano come Lingua Seconda (ASILS), the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci is committed to the high-quality teaching of Italian to foreign students. The Scuola Leonardo da Vinci is located in the heart of Florence's historical center, just a short walk from many of Florence's historical and cultural sites.

Language courses are taught at the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci by teachers who are native speakers of Italian. They are experienced language instructors who have been specially trained in teaching Italian to foreign students. All courses are taught in Italian. The emphasis of verbal communication permits students to learn Italian naturally, to combine theory with practice, and to increase their knowledge quickly and with confidence.

ACCENT programs are designed with the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci for students to either directly enroll in the appropriate level at the Scuola, or for faculty from the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci to be hired to teach specific courses to ACCENT students.
