Florence’s international schools are a compact but diverse group that serve both expat and local families, offering a mix of International Baccalaureate, American-style and several national or bilingual pathways (French, British and Canadian options are also present). Most schools use English as the working language while building Italian language study into the programme, and a few campuses sit just outside the historic centre (for example in Bagno a Ripoli or Fiesole), which affects commuting and timetables. Annual tuition varies widely by provider and by age, with some bilingual or paritaria schools charging in the mid-thousands of euros and independent international/IB schools charging into the mid-tens of thousands; additional costs for transport, meals, language support and activities are common. The local admissions rhythm follows the Italian academic calendar with a September start; families aiming for popular year groups are advised to begin enquiries many months ahead, although some schools run rolling admissions for less-demanded grades.
