CIEE invites U.S high schools students with a minimum GPA of 2.5 and formal Italian language instruction to study abroad in Italy. Placement in an Italian high school, staying with a host family, and international medical insurance are some of the inclusions in the fee and support detailed on the CIEE website. For the first 3 weeks of the stay, intensive Italian language training will be offered to get students ready for the semester. Language proficiency classes will be offered through the first semester.
