Introduction

This program will see you fully immersed into the Italian culture for a short term period, semester or an academic year. Exchanging what you know for something foreign is not always a simple task, but it can be extremely rewarding. By going abroad, living with a host family in Italy and attending a local secondary school, you'll gain insight into the country’s customs and culture, and learn Italian while building meaningful friendships along the way!

A WEP+ program offers an additional level of choice. In Italy, you can can choose to be placed in one of four regions: Northern Italy, Central Italy, Southern Italy or Italian Islands.
