LIVE WITH A HOST FAMILY
You will spend evenings and weekends in the comfort of your host family home where you’ll have ample opportunity to share the highlights of your day over a delicious meal you may want to prepare with them. Living with your Italian family will be the most significant part of your SYA life. The time you will spend with your host family will make your experience unique and invaluable.
TRAVEL AND EXPLORE
You will use what you learn in class immediately outside the school doors through activities in the surroundings and field trips. You will be able to use your skills in authentic ways during trips that are designed to introduce you to the stunning beauty of a country that contains 60% of UNESCO’s World Heritage designations, visiting Rome, Florence, Venice and Dolomites.
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE CULTURE
You will develop your language skills as well as collaborate with local peers in designed activities and projects that will give you different and diverse tools to deeply understand Italian culture and share your culture with others. You will discover the Etruscan civilization, cook Italian dishes, learn about ceramic and mosaic technique, play soccer and do other activities to experience the Italian life
