Overview
Established in 1973, the Institute consists of three main sections: the Italian Language School, the Art Institute and Academic Programs . The Institute offers its students a unique opportunity to study in Florence with college students from all over the world. It offers the only international academic program in Italy, which is primarily directed towards students who are interested in sharing the Florence experience with students from other lands and cultures.
Our programs are shaped to stimulate and develop the potential individual creativity of students, providing them not only with the technical skills, but also with the conceptual insight necessary for the development of artistic talent. The presence of students of all nationalities stimulates a cultural exchange and contributes to the development of a more rounded artistic sensitivity. . Our faculty is international and both professionally and academically qualified. Many of our instructors are professional artists.
Our teachers nurture the creative process of art education, developing in their students not only skill and confidence, but also the aesthetic awareness, the conceptual abilities and the humanistic perspective necessary for a career in visual arts. Our foundation programs give beginning students basic skills and the visual understanding to start a solid and technical art education.
If students already have a considerable background, our teachers will help them to develop creative expression skills, in order to fulfill their artistic promise and broaden their visual and intellectual background, which will ultimately serve to enhance a lifetime of artistic pursuits.
The Academic Program offers a wide spectrum of courses from the Arts and Humanities and from the Natural and Social Sciences. The academic content is solid and well structured and whenever possibile is made pertinent to the study abroad experience. The course levels are flexible offering the student challenging advanced courses as well as those of introductory level.
The Faculty is predominantly of Italian nationality but, consistent with the international flavor of the Institute, comprises instructors from diverse countries and backgrounds.
All professors are fluent in English and hold higher degrees from major universities in the U.S. and Europe. The Italian language instructors are all graduates from Italian universities and have received specialized training in order to teach Italian to foreign students.
The programs offered are academically affiliated with various U.S. colleges, universities and institutes. Any student, regardless of sex, race, or ethnic origin, is considered for admission. Lorenzo de Medici is registered and authorized in Italy with a Decreto del Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione 02/12/1990.
