Bilingual Education: A Competitive Advantage to Thrive Beyond the Classroom
At FBS, we understand the pivotal role that pre-school plays in laying a strong foundation for each child's learning journey.
In pre-school, our pupils embark on an immersive and transformative experience. By learning simultaneously in Italian and English, we provide them with a unique opportunity to become bilingual, as they enhance their cognitive abilities and cultivate an open mindset.

FAQs
The class is divided into two subgroups. On alternating weeks, one group spends the morning with the English teacher and the other with the Italian teacher; in the afternoon, they switch. This way, students engage in various activities in both languages, ensuring they benefit from learning in both languages during peak receptivity periods, which generally occur in the morning.
The orientation period lasts only one week (Monday to Friday) and is usually only for children who are starting preschool in the 3-year-old group.
Florence Bilingual School is open Monday to Friday, from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Pick-up time starts at 4 p.m. From 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., preschoolers can take part in a selection of extracurricular activities designed for them or stay to play and engage in creative and fun activities under the careful supervision of our teachers.
