PROGRAM CHECKLIST:
>> Dates 2009
The streets of Florence radiate the charm of Italian culture. Few can dismiss the image of Brunelleschi’s cathedral dome bursting through the morning mist – a terracotta balloon hovering above the medieval rooftops. But once the visitor drops down to street level, the profusion of traffic, tourists and touts can remove all sense of tranquillity.
Our school which is one of the most respected in Florence, is ideally situated in a very clean and safe corner of Florence, just 5 minutes walk from the main train station.
From the rooftop patio you can look to the horizon and the hills of Tuscany, and the beautiful Duomo. Housed in a typical style building, the school is located on the 6th and 7th floors and the views of Florence are amazing!
Every classroom has large windows opening on to wide terraces which over look the city. The large terrace on the roof, where classes some times take place in the summer, is a favorite place for students to socialize and hang out during or after classes.The school is very bright and our staff help to make the atmosphere warm and friendly.
A short (10 minute) walk will lead you to the cathedral square and to the heart of the city.
IMPORTANT: This program is designed for very mature, age 16+ students; for well-traveled, independent thinking teenagers- who enjoy and can handle NO supervision; can mix and study with adult students, travel to/from school alone, after class and on the weekends.
Choose between these two Italian course options:
Living with a host family is probably the best and most effective way to become fully immersed into the language and culture of your chosen country.

""An extremely educational experience no matter what your age!
The web site was very informative for the program I attended. The pre-departure information was great and the support I received for all my questions was as well. I felt like I was dealing with an extremely well-organized program.
The accommodation was amazing! My host mother was so helpful with everything and was so patient. My roommate was a little young but we became great friends.
The location was spectacular - right near the Ponte Vecchio and other great landmarks but a bit far from the school. The classes were really interesting and definitely focused on conversation, which is excellent. The teachers were all friendly and fun. They offer a lot of cultural activities but not as much as I had hoped for.
You will have fun no matter what but it is significantly more rewarding if you have a good hold of the language."
________________________________
Meeting students from all over the world was wonderful, and seeing art first hand was so much fun. I would do it again. The staff was extreamly helpful and knew all the answers to my questions. The couple I stayed with were sweet and had a deep passion for their Italian heritage, I enjoyed their company. The school was organized and had it together. I liked the teachers as well."
Future Advice: To research the country and city ahead of time to get a feel for what goes on there, and to study a bit of the language.
