Absolutely choose SPI!

SPI's Italy program is excellently designed for cultural and language immersion for both students new to Italian and those who are seeking to strengthen their language skills for the AP test!

There is no experience more transformative and expanding than study-abroad, and SPI seeks to offer the best in this type of experience. They carefully choose study programs at universities which offer well-trained homestay experiences and well-researched pedagogy for language studies. Students are encouraged to live like a "local" and truly enjoy all the elements of living abroad. As a veteran educator, I have highly recommended SPI's program to my students, with their focus on maintaining a personal relationship with the family (both at home and with the home-stay family experience).
