If families are interested, please plan to attend an evening meeting on Thursday October 7th at 7:00 pm in Room 208. Please bring your questions to the meeting. Tentative details below.
Host Italian students in DC from Thursday, March 21-Tuesday, March 26, 2024
Hosting in DC: All the Italian students speak English. They are usually 16 years old and in their third year of high school. They will attend selected J-R classes in the mornings and tour DC in the afternoons. You’ll join your guest for evening and weekend activities. You’ll provide a warm welcome – a bed – meals – and transportation to and from school.
Visit Italy April from April 11- Saturday April 20, 2024 (spring break – miss 1.5 days of school)
Estimated Cost: $2000-$2200
Group size: 20 students, 2 chaperones
Visiting in Italy: You will fly in and out of Ancona, the city next to Falconara. You’ll stay in the home of the student you hosted. In most homes, at least one parent also speaks English. You’ll attend English classes and team-building activities at school and take trips to enjoy the beach, the mountains, and the food, culture, and history of Italy.
