Lorenzo de' Medici - art, language and culture since 1973

After more than thirty years of growth and experience, Scuola Lorenzo de' Medici (LdM) is known as one of the most distinctive and established international institutions. The School prides itself on its years of experience offering vocationally-oriented courses in Fashion, Archaeology, Studio Arts, Performing Arts and allied subjects. Students can choose from over 400 different courses in Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, Business, Economics, Political Science, Mathematics, Studio and Performing Arts and Italian Language and Culture. All courses are taught in English, except for Italian Language courses.

Scuola Lorenzo de' Medici has recently expanded to other areas of Italy. Based on the longevity and success of our Florence campus, we have opened two new sites: Rome and Tuscania. This expansion provides the opportunity for students to study in multiple locations and truly experience different aspects of Italy. These different locations augment the already expansive offerings and will appeal to students of many different backgrounds, interests, experiences, and motivations.

Over the years, we have constantly sought to meet every student's expectations, and it is for this reason that we have implemented a range of services that are becoming an integral part of our offerings. First, there are our housing services, which we make available to all students that enroll in our courses, whether for only a week, a month, a year, or more. We also have a range of solutions available that will not only help students feel a bit more at home, but are cost-effective, as well. But there’s much more, as LdM provides its students with exceptional cultural and recreational opportunities both inside and outside the cities. These include guided visits to historic sites, social activities (e.g., dinners at characteristic local restaurants, allowing students to sample Italy's exceptional cuisine), seasonal festivals, special events and conferences, field trips, theatre, concerts, and much more. Through its affiliation with the University of Florence, LdM also offers its students the opportunity to interact with students outside of the LdM program structure.
