Italy Year High School Program – Fall Departure
Live with a host family in Italy while attending high school for one full academic year. Learn Italian and explore a country extremely rich in history and culture.
Going to school in Italy, though often very demanding, can be a great place to meet friends. The typical school week runs 8:00am-2:00pm Monday through Saturday. Language lessons will be available 2-3 times per week for the first few months and are all covered by your tuition. Often, the students remain in the classroom and the teachers rotate!
Your local AFS chapter will organize activities throughout the year, which may include parties or excursions to other cities or regions in Italy. Also, over the course of your program, AFS staff and volunteers will meet with you at orientations to evaluate your experience and help with your cultural adjustment.

About Italy
Italians know how to enjoy life, whether through exquisite art, music, food and architecture; the company of friends and family; the beautiful game of soccer; or an after-dinner passeggiata (slow walk). Despite the abundance of history—Roman ruins Renaissance art, medieval towns—Italy is also modern, taking part in the European Union, keeping up with technology and leading in style and fashion.
