Who We Are

Canadian Curriculum from pre-school to high school in the heart of Italy

Canadian School of Florence is a private international school based in Florence, Tuscany. Offering a complete educational path, which starts at Kindergarten (age 3) and ends with graduation from our Senior School (age 18). 

Canadian School of Florence is an international school combining the best of Canadian, Italian,and international educational standards. The School follows the Canadian Ontario Curriculum and hosts a unique mix of international students and local Italian students. Small class size strengthens the personal approach to education, allowing each student to develop their sense of excellence, trust, integrity, fairness, and compassion.

The School provides an inclusive learning environment, with teachers and support staff who engage with students on both academic and emotional levels. Teachers provide personalized teaching and individual care together with empathetic engagement, and hands-on experiential teaching that enables curiosity, creativity, and innovative thinking. Students enjoy engaging field trips, excursions, and extra-curricular activities to enhance what is taught in class.
