From High School to Higher Ed… in Italian!

A brand-new program that seamlessly links the high school and college learning experience will be offered this summer. Taught by a native speaker instructor and coordinated by an experienced high school teacher on the Montclair State University campus, its aim is to consolidate rising senior students’ intermediate Italian skills on their way to an advanced level. Students will benefit from an engaging college experience on a campus boasting a dynamic Italian program and proximity to New York City and richly Italian local NJ venues.

• Dates and time: July 10-27, 2017, Mon.-Thur. (9am-4pm)
• Cost: $750 (a bargain price for the equivalent of 3 college credits!)
• Open to rising seniors with demonstrated interest and achievement in Italian
• Earn 3 college credits while still attending high school through the Early-College Program at Montclair State University (the earned credits are fully transferable at Montclair State University, and other universities upon approval)
• Full-immersion (3 weeks, 4 days a week, 84 hours of instruction including lunches and field trips to be conducted in Italian)
• Intensive language and culture course (7 hours a day of classroom and off-campus activities)
• Fun and interesting trips and activities outside the classroom (conducted in Italian): film screenings, museum visits (The MET, NY), thematic walking tours and visits in New York (EATALY), Italian-American heritage sites (Botto House in New Jersey), etc.
• Great preparation for senior advanced/AP Italian courses and AP exam
• Open to NJ, NY and CT students
