About
Join us for an unforgettable week in Rome, where language learning meets cultural discovery. This unique program offers an immersive experience designed to deepen your understanding of Italian language and culture through expert-led instruction and enriching cultural excursions.
Each morning begins with an engaging language and cultural session led by the renowned Dartmouth Rassias Center for World Languages and Cultures of Dartmouth, known for its dynamic and interactive language teaching methodology. This method is an immersive language-learning approach that is designed to accelerate learning, boost retention and get you speaking in just a short amount of time. The vision and mission of the center are to share, serve, and inspire by teaching language and culture in a way that builds real understanding—across borders, backgrounds, and professions. Rooted in the belief that language learning is deeply human, they aim to connect people, open minds, and make a lasting impact through inclusive, dynamic, and purpose-driven instruction.
In the afternoon, explore Rome’s breathtaking history, art, and culinary traditions with curated visits organized by API, a leader in experiential education. A variety of visits to Rome’s most iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and historic neighborhoods will be offered. Program highlights include but are not limited to a guided tour of the Vatican Museums and an authentic Italian lunch and wine tasting experience at a local winery.
