Overview
 In an increasingly small world, our mission is to bridge the gap between cultures through language education and cultural immersion; we strive to offer our students a genuine experience of Tuscan life. We are proud to host people of all ages from all over the globe, allowing our school to serve as an international point of exchange focused around the common interest of Italy and the Italian language.
The school itself is located in San Giovanni Valdarno, a small town that provides an ideal window into Tuscan life. Removed from the throngs of tourists that crowd Florence, Il Sillabo students find themselves in the heart of Tuscany, rubbing elbows with the locals. We are just thirty minutes from Florence by train and three hours from Rome. The location allows us to lead guided tours to cities such as Florence, Siena, Pisa, Orvieto, and Perugia as afternoon or weekend outings.
We believe that we can offer an ideal opportunity for a short/medium/long-term study abroad experience, and at the same time enrich our school with the energy and academic curiosity of international students.
We offer language lessons recognized by the Italian Ministry of Education and we are a member FIYTO-ALTO (Federation of International Youth Tourism Organizations – Association of Language Travel Organizations). Our classes are taught by a team of highly qualified teachers.
We are also prepared to offer a wide variety of courses in other academic disciplines including: literature, film, art history, and archaeology, just to name a few. We take pride in the rigor and relevance of our classes; we believe that the academic challenge of our courses cultivates a deeper level of connection with the culture, and simultaneously, the cultural immersion here in San Giovanni fuels dynamic learning in and out of the classroom. As a result, we also offer a plethora of electives for cultural appreciation. Through guided trips, cooking lessons, wine tasting, Italian films, and a network of welcoming host families, our students have the opportunity to discover a part of Tuscany that the tour groups never reach.
