CIEE HS Summer Abroad: Italian Language & Culture in Rome

Call Rome your home and practice your Italian skills surrounded by 3,000 years of history!

Embark on four weeks of language immersion in the colossal capital of Italy. After language classes, practice your new skills conversing with local teens at markets, shops, and the lively piazzas that dot the city. Step back in time at ancient and iconic sites, like the Roman Forum, the Colosseum, and the Vatican. Marvel at Renaissance masterpieces, like the Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, and gain a deeper understanding of Italy’s vital artistic contributions to the world.

At your homestay, grow your Italian language and culture savvy while cooking and sharing authentic Italian meals with your host family. On excursions, venture to ancient Tivoli, a hill-top town with stunning Italian gardens, and visit the excavations of Pompeii, a once bustling southern city that was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. In and out of Rome, you’ll not only grow your Italian but also experience the extraordinary art, vast history, and irresistible flavors of southern Europe.
