The Florence facilities are all centrally located. IIS-Drake is affiliated with the Lorenzo de' Medici and the Art Institute of Florence. Institute's sites include three Studio Art facilities providing centers for Jewelry, Graphic Arts, Painting, Sculpture, Textiles, Video, Restoration, Photography, Architecture, Fresco, and Drawing.
Students visit museums, villas and gardens.
Classrooms, computer lab, library, administrative offices and cafeteria are centrally located between the Duomo and the Central train station. Florence and the whole Tuscany region offers you the unfolding beauty of both its Renaissance treasures and charming countryside. Late Spring or Summer are ideal times to enjoy the city of Florence and make the most of the experience. Several field trips organized by the school will give you the opportunity to travel on pastoral country roads and enjoy tiny medieval villages scattered in the hills around Florence and Siena. Half of all the Art History classes are held in museums, and the masterpieces of architecture are studied on site.
