Description:	All students are placed in Italian homes and study the language at a level appropriate to them. While fluency in Italian is not required for the year-long program, a spring program is offered to students who have a minimum of one year of college Italian. Classes are small and combined with private tutorials with Italian professors. Each student enrolls in a beginning to advanced Italian language class and two other courses chosen from offerings in studio arts, art history, history, Italian literature, cinema and other disciplines. Students who have language proficiency may elect to take a course in the humanities or social sciences at the University of Florence. The Program begins with a five-day orientation in Pescia, a small Medieval town west of Florence. Once there, students begin intensive language studies and prepare to tap the immense resources of a Sarah Lawrence year in Florence.
