The educational component of your program is designed to expand your knowledge of Italy, its history, culture and language while enriching your vacation. All of our professors hold university degrees and have been chosen to teach you because of their enthusiasm and expertise in their field of study. Attendance at classes is highly recommended, but is not mandatory. Classes will be held in an air-conditioned room looking out onto the beautiful sea.

Art and Archaeology
You will be sojourning in the Campania region of Italy which is rich in ancient Greek & Roman art and archaeology. To prepare you for your excursions to the ruins and the national museum, an art historian will provide a lecture on the history of the region, its art and archaeology. No prior knowledge of the subject is necessary.

Language Classes
There will be 10 hours of language instruction at the beginner level and 10 hours at the intermediate-advanced level. The classes will be fun and will prepare you to go out into the Italian community and practice what you have learned. The teaching method implemented is a conversational approach with a strong grammatical background.
