SYA High School Study Abroad Program in Italy

I had the most amazing experience at SYA Italy. My host family was a perfect match and I learned so much from them. They welcomed my like a member of their family and I have so many amazing memories with them. The friendships I made are ones I know I will have for life. The experiences I had with my classmates are ones that very few people could have at this age. The most amazing part of this journey was the way I was able to learn a language from nothing in such a short amount of time. My teachers were so helpful in making sure we were understanding and enjoying what we are doing. Going to SYA was the best decision I could have made.

SYA Italy was an incredible program! l had a phenomenal experience with my host family and the program is very intentional about creating the host family parings and having students integrated into the local community. SYA Italy has amazing professors who were very helpful in not only our transition to living abroad, but also learning Italian and keeping our other academics strong. I loved living in Viterbo and would highly recommend studying abroad with SYA! It is a super fun year, you learn a lot, and you get a once in a lifetime experience to travel abroad and live in a new country!
