The Accademia Europea di Firenze is an Italian Language, Music, Arts and Culture school situated in the center of the historical city of Florence, Italy.
AEF is dedicated to providing the ultimate study abroad experience in Florence, Italy.
The professors, constantly updated on the most modern researches in the field of didactics, guarantee a constant attention to the functional aspect of the language. From the first day of school, students are put in a condition of learning “using” the language, not only for daily life, but also for the specific academic disciplines in which they are interested.
As a matter of fact, to acquire a new language means practicing it in the means of your interest. This stimulates students to overcome the challenges of a new language, learning within the context of what they find most interesting. This is why the Music Department and the Art Department act together with the Language Department and organize courses and events where the students take a main role and are inserted in the cultural sphere of the city of Florence.

REGULAR COURSES ALL YEAR AROUND
The Standard Italian Language Courses are held in 20 lessons per week from 09:00 until 12:30 from Monday until Friday. This allows students to learn the language in the mornings and follow the other activities organized by the school during the afternoons. Those activities are fundamental in creating a relaxed and familiar atmosphere that involves students, professors, staff and facilitates constantly monitoring each student`s progress.
Some examples of the cultural activities are the concerts, lectures, movies, visits to museums and farms, linguistic games, etc. Examples of recreational activities are the wine and food tastings, parties, dinners, sports events, etc. Those activities cover the entire week and make the students practice the language constantly in all its aspects. This practical application of language and culture drives our study abroad philosophy.
Through the Standard Italian Language Courses the students can add Music Courses , Art Courses or Cultural Courses to form the Intensive Music Courses , Intensive Art Courses and Intensive Culture Courses. Those courses have everything that the Standard Italian Language Courses have, added by two, four or six Music, Art or Cultural lessons.
The Music Department was created for foreign students, but also involves Italian students in its professional activities. Those students participate in the school`s activities and enrich them.
Along with organizing concerts and shows inside the school and in various prestigious sites across Florence, the department also collaborates with great Florentine music institutions.
The Art Department also allows an exchange among Italian and foreign artists. The Accademia regularly organizes exhibitions with the students` best works, not only inside the school but also in traditional places that hold artistic events.
We also have a scenography lab that truly represents the meeting point between the art and music departments.
The Cultural Department teaches history courses like History of Arts, of the Cinema, and of the Literature. In the History of Art courses, for example, the students learn inside the classroom and then go to museums to actually see what they are learning.
Florence is one of the most beautiful art cities of the world, rich with history, culture and tradition. It is known worldwide for the masterpieces that were made by artists who lived here, like Dante Alighieri and Boccaccio, Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, Brunelleschi, Botticelli and many others. Studying abroad in such a historically relevant city can enlighten and inspire any student.
The Accademia Europea di Firenze is located exactly in the historical center of the city of Florence, right between the Duomo and the Repubblica square.
