The American Language Center of Florence was founded in 1959 by the United States Information Service and then privatized in the 1960's. It is now one of the leading American English schools in Italy, and has received approval from the Ministry of Public Education to teach American English and culture. It is an active member of international organizations such as TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) and NAFSA (National Association of Foreign Student Advisors), and it works closely with other American language schools throughout the world.

All the instructors are native English speakers with recognized qualifications in English as a Second language (ESL) or a closely related field. All instructors are TEFL-certified, as well. Learning English at the American Language Center  is meaningful, effective, rewarding and fun! Great success is achieved when language is taught with an interactive communicative approach in a student-centered classroom. We believe it is critical for students to have opportunities to personalize language through conversational  and communicative studies that allow them to use their knowledge and experiences as they express their unique ideas and opinions.
