  • Description

    Aspire by API offers two different international experiences in the timeless city of Florence: the Italian Experience Program provides students with an opportunity to explore Italian language, culture, art, and cooking; while the Two-Week Italian Language Program provides students the opportunity to focus mainly on language acquisition.

  • Highlights

    In the Italian Experience Program, all students must enroll in one morning class. Afternoon art classes are optional but encouraged. In the Two-Week Italian Language Program, classes are held weekday mornings. No prior knowledge of Italian is required for either program, and all students will participate in a hands-on cooking seminar on Fridays. Afternoons and weekends are devoted to Aspire by API cultural activities and organized excursions. Located in the renowned region of Tuscany, Florence is situated on the banks of the Arno River, surrounded by the rolling hills of the Italian countryside. It is a city that welcomes visitors, scholars, artists and students to walk her streets, relive past discoveries in the arts and sciences, and glimpse the rich history that permeates every inch of the city.

    Scholarships are available, please contact Aspire by API for details.
