Term: Summer 
Dates: June or July

Description: Study abroad in Florence, Italy this summer! Spend four weeks taking intensive Italian classes in the heart of the historic centre on the corner of Via Tornabuoni. It is just a ten minute walk from the majestic Duomo cathedral in the city known as the birthplace of the Renaissance. Florence's combination of history and dynamic modern culture make it the ideal city for students to immerse themselves in the Italian way of life.

Study Italian language with students from around the world during the week, and explore the region of Tuscany on the weekends through school-sponsored activities or independent travel.

Highlights: World Endeavors is pleased to offer scholarships of USD 350 to participants in any of the summer 2009 sessions.

Many people believe that the best way to study in Italy is to study in a place that allows for direct daily contact with Italian communities. World Endeavors' Study in Italy program was developed to provide students more experience with local communities and authentic Italian culture.

Optional social or cultural activities may be pursued by participants. These activities give students exposure to Italian culture and an opportunity to practice their Italian language skills. Examples include: free concerts at the school, Italian music listening workshops, conferences on subjects such as art, literature, Opera, or politics, Italian cinema screenings, and guided Art History tours around the city of Florence.

Students must be 18 years or older and have competed high school at the time of the course. No previous experience with the Italian language is required.
