The Canadian School of Florence is a co-educational private international school for children aged 3 to 18 years. The school opened its first campus in Florence in 2017 with the Senior School, followed in 2021 by the Preschool and Elementary School, and lastly followed by the Middle School in 2022.

The school follows the Canadian Ontario curriculum and hosts a unique mix of international students and local Italian students. Small class size strengthens the inclusive approach to education, allowing each student to develop their sense of excellence, trust, integrity, fairness, and compassion.

The Preschool (Pre-Kindergarten, Junior Kindergarten, Senior Kindergarten) and Elementary (Grades 1-5) campus is located in Fiesole, less than 2km from the Florence campus. Its experiential learning program is based on the best curriculum from Canada (Ontario), with preparation, in Italian, for the Italian programme (_scuola paritaria_), and the use of the Reggio Emilia philosophy and Jolly Phonics in the Preschool.
